LET IT SNOW!
We were blessed to have lots of snow on our week off. The temperatures dropped so much that the ground stayed covered enough for sledding for two days. What a gift from God to be able to spend some quality time with the kids in this way on vacation.
Above: Press the play button to see a short clip of Ben and Allen having some fun in the snow.
Above: While Ben and Allen were out in the cold, Kira found a nice cozy place for her private tea party.
Above: Ellianna (the artistic one of the bunch) giving me an explanation of each swirl in her latest artwork.
Above: Surprisingly, this is not the sun, but a very large looking moon photographed from our front steps last night.
Random event of the week: Something is bad when my teammate Brenda yells upstairs, “Allen, You need to come down here....” Temperatures dropped so low that one of our outside pipes connected to a garden hose burst and began flooding our basement. Thankfully, it was simple to turn off the water flow to the outside pipe to stop the rush of water pouring into our basement. Even though there was about half an inch of water, I praise God that there was NO water damage. I am also thankful that the cardboard shadow puppets we recently made for our Christmas show were not damaged. The water literally was inches away from destroying them when I shut off the water. Maybe this will help me to remember to shut off the water to the outside pipe next year. At least we have a clean mopped basement now.
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Above: Kids gathering up front so that we can pray for them before they attend Sunday School with Erika and Brenda.
Above Left: Hugi laughing with Sharon. Above Right: Peti with Dezső. Peti preached tonight about our inability to carry out our calling in our own strength and God’s complete ability to do the impossible through us in His strength.
This week we return to our previous ministry schedule. We also plan on a few special meetings this week with our church planting team seeking to know God’s will in our next steps in the next quarter. Please pray for team unity, for clarity in next steps, for fruitful discussions and for wisdom for the upcoming days ahead.
