For your Saturday

Fun with the kids

Ever wonder what a house full of little kids, pop and pizza would look like? Well, I had the wonderful opportunity to experience that very thing tonight. The two speakers for the weekend, their wives and children all came over for a fun evening before the weekend kick off. I hope the whole weekend is just as much fun!

Current reading

If you ever need a book that you can read when you know you need a laugh, let me introduce to you P.G. Wodehouse's classic series with Jeeves and Wooster. They are hilarious, ridiculous, witty, and altogether fun to read. You will soon find yourself in the world of Stilton, Florence Cray, Boko Fittleworth and many other entertaining characters... you should read it! 

Wash your hands

 When I was little my dad taught me how to wash my hands, singing Yankee Doodle Went to Town the whole time. Well, guess what? It really is important to wash those little patties. Today in school we learned why. Our teacher gave us some hand lotion that, when applied, glows under the dark light. After applying the lotion, we washed our hands using the best techniques that we had learned prior to this experiment, and when we put our "squeaky clean" hands back under the light you wouldn't believe the glow that still emanated from our hands! So, believe me, you really should wash your hands!

with love,

Teacher

Today I did something I have never done before: I taught piano lessons. There is a family that lives at camp with four young children and I taught the two oldest kids today. It was right back to the good old days of counting, recounting and counting again. It was the sight reading with mess ups and the retries, and I found myself in the seat of encourager and instructor, trying to find that balance between encouraging and instructing... who would have thought... I never would have!

Adventure

Hanna Andersson is one of my favorite catalogues to look through. The problem is that's about all you can do! The other day the SPRING catalogue came in the mail and I found a very pretty women's collection. They all looked "sewable", so I am starting on an adventure to see if I can successfully imitate their collection. Last night I made a pair of navy blue jersy knit pants (originally $68, my cost $9). Sew, the Adventure is underway!

Love,

Party

Our last Pioneer clubs and what's more fun than a party, right? Well, along with our normal class time we are having a special snack and some gifts! I think the girls will really like it, and you can still pray that they would be responsive to God's Word. His Word truly is living and active.
