A few updated pictures

Here are a few pictures. Sorry we haven't posted for a while but we have been busy with homeschooling, language lessons, and just living in a place where it takes a long time to get things done.

Some Recent Events

Since the last time we posted, a few things have happened.

• We had a chance to go around the local High School and briefly speak to classes to promote the leadership training camp we put on in July. It was fun! I think it was the first time we've spoken with a translator.


• Last week we were driving in the rain from our city to the capital city about an hour and a half away. Around the halfway point we got our FIRST FLAT TIRE!! How fun! We got to change it in the rain! We did get a little help though (see picture).


• The other day a local friend of ours came over to talk about a house we were looking to rent. He was suppose to see us earlier in the day, but was delayed several hours because he went to the doctor to get some medicine for his sore back and shoulder. He wasn't sure how it happened, but when he got to the house he was still in tremendous pain! So, I (Simon), had him lay down on the floor and I "CRACKED" his back! Five minutes later he was declaring that he was CURED!! I guess that is what you call the "Gift of Healing".


• And finally PTL!!! We have found a house rent! - Pictures and video to come later.

Peanutbutter surprise

There are alot things that we can not get here like we can in the states. One of them is peanutbutter. They have a fresh roasted nut shop on every other corner, but no peanutbutter. Every country has there own staple food. Hummus, vegamite, yougart(that's here), salsa to name a few. Have you heard, neccessity is the mother of invention. I decided to break out the food processor and make some from scratch. Checked the internet for recipes, and went to work. It looked good for a while but it seemed to go arye when I added a little too much of something. Having determined to be a good steward and not throw out this tastey but miscongielled mixture, added a little more sugar, eggs, flour, chocolate. To top it all off, coco crispies. As the grease simmered on the top of this hopeful treat, I decided it was a definite treat to share, since I would have jumped a dress size if we kept it just for the family. Success......It was delicious. We took it to a fellowship of internationals where all the kids and adults alike gobbled it up. Boy, is my waistline grateful.
