My New Favorite Advertisement

This summer we helped with several VBS weeks. It was very encouraging, we had a great time! The children here are so sweet, and so eager to learn. :)

One night, while we were preparing for the next day, Miles helped a bit, then sat down there with us, at the table covered with paper, scissors, glue, tape...etc. So he takes a piece of black paper and a white coloured pencil, and I see him writing for a while. When he was done he let me read it, this was the result:

"Elmer's Glue-all

The glue you use to glue all things. It will glue all, even your new toy that broke. It will fix anything from your tool box to that broken piano key. All you have to do is go to the nearest Walmart and buy a bottle of

Elmer's Glue-all."

Isn't he a genius!?

:D

Roti and Requests

Part 1:

ROTI

...mm hmm, you just read that...roti. :)

Okay, so I really really love the food here. One of my favorites is roti, an Indian bread. It's kind of like a thin tortilla, only a bit wetter. You eat it by tearing off a bit, then picking up a bit of meat, or whatever else, and stuffing it in your mouth! :) Well, politely...

The other night I tried my hand at making Dosti Roti, one of a couple kinds. It turned out really well! And it was fun! :)

Going clockwise, on the top left is Stew Pumpkin, then the roti skin. Channa and Potatoes is chick peas and potatoes all cooked together in curry and masalla, then the chicken is curried.

P.S. You should come and visit me so you can try it, it's really good! ;)

Part 2:

A few prayer requests.

• Anna and Nathan are starting Preaching school on Monday, and Emily and Lydia will be taking a few part time. Please pray that they will be safe, and learn a lot.
• The boys and I are also starting a full schedule of school back on Monday.
• My Mum is flying to America on Tuesday, to be with my brother, Wade and his wife Leah, who is expecting their first baby soon! :D
• Pray that Leah will have a safe delivery, and as they go to their next place of work.
• A gentleman in our congregation passed away yesterday morning. He had terminal cancer. His wife also has several health problems.

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
