Our thoughtful mom said when she saw this t-shirt she thought of me...but I have a question: Where was the blue t-shirt that said, "I LOVE MY SWEETIE-PIE" which made her think of Brad? I know for a fact that he would have wore that t-shirt proudly to every occasion here in the bush...possibly even while out cutting wood! :)
Bradley was blessed to have an opportunity to visit a nearby village (about fifty miles downriver) to preach on Sunday. He and some of our teammates flew out Sunday morning and returned before dark Sunday night. Upon returning, Brad went straight to youth group to help facilitate that time as well.
We are praying that this last trip was a blessing and encouragement to the native man who pastors the small Bible church there. The pastor mentioned a desire to have a Gospel-sing sometime in the future.
My friend had a migraine so I offered to watch her daughters for the day. I enjoy babysitting their three girls because Ruthie & Naomi get along with them so well. They play nicely together and it's encouraging seeing their friendship grow.
A teacher friend of ours told us he asked our "houseguest" how his time was at the Foxes. I was sure his reply would be something to the effect of, "Wow, the love of Christ flowed through their lives and I want what they have," OR "that honey bucket experience helped me learn my lesson," OR EVEN "that Madelyn sure can cook amazing meals with just a crockpot and no working oven," BUT INSTEAD HE SAID, "Those girls are wild!" We'll take that as a compliment? :)
I LOVE MY HUBBY (AKA BRADLEY)
We took the snow-go to get the mail and came back with frost on our goggles (more Ruthie than me).
The girls enjoyed helping me bake a pizza for dinner one night...
...but I did catch Nae popping a few pepperonis in her mouth when she thought I wasn't looking!
