Just a Quick Note

Hi all! We're still alive and kicking and I am sure you all have stopped checking the blog due to the lack of updates. We still do not have a phone line but hopefully soon! I am at the office trying to get caught up on emails and blogs.
So, here are some recent pictures for all of you. Pictured to the left is cousin Claire with the boys on the Duolos (the ship she sails around on.) We went one night and had dinner on the ship with her...PJ LOVED it! He was so impressed. Claire gave us a tour of the ship. On the tour we got to see the lifeboats that are hoisted way up. Claire was explaining to PJ what they were and how it works in case of an emergency. She said something along the lines of, "and if there's an emergency we get in the boats (which seat about 70 people!) and then crank them down to the water." When we returned home PJ kept talking about "cranker boats" and we were stumped as to what he was talking about but then figured it out...he meant the lifeboats!

On Thursday we went to a local mall where they have an entire kids section with rides. We went with Emmy and Rhianna Mills. Here you see PJ and Emmy very seriously driving PJ's favorite ride...the racecars! (Thanks to the movie, CARS). They had a blast. By the way, it's called Yo Yo Land.







And I can't leave out my dear little Calvin. He is growing so fast. He is very mobile now, getting into everything and having a blast doing it! He especially likes electrical cords and outlets...I think I see a career as an electrician in his future! His second tooth has come in and I think he might be working on a third.







After our trip to Yo Yo Land, PJ, Calvin and I went to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream. This was a special treat. PJ was a real tropper walking all over the mall and so I told him I would reward him with ice cream. We both enjoyed our snack!

As for Paul and I, well, life has been busy. Paul is seeing some interest in Christianity from a few of his Thai friends. Please be praying for him as he starts studying the Bible with one guy who is interested. Paul can now share the Gospel in Thai using a Thai tract! I am excited for him (I think he is excited too but he just isn't as verbal as I am!) Please continue praying for our Thai language ability to increase.
We are now gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas outreaches in our home and as a team we will be doing several outreach events. Please be praying for us in this busy season that we would keep our eyes on Christ and also that He would bring a harvest from this time. Well, I can't stay and chat long. Thanks for dropping in and I will try to update sooner than next month!!!
