So Long Ordinary

It's already the last day of February on this side of the world and I'm still scratching my head wondering where January went.  Good grief.  It would be an understatement to say we've been busy.  Lots of guests, lots of happenings, lots of good stuff....that's what's been going on!  March looks like it will be just as full - but with some fun travel and rest, which we are especially looking forward to! Can you say Starbucks? I'll share a couple of pictures from our February.  I lost the charger to my camera a while ago (not that I used it that much) so these are pretty low-quality Ipad photos.  I should steal Sean's camera once in a while, shouldn't I?

She's been so fun to have around and I've really enjoyed our morning conversations over coffee. She'll be here till Tuesday and has been teaching a workshop all week.  Our whole household (including our very busy guest) is very tired on this Friday - looking forward to a movie night and sleeping in tomorrow!  Woo-hoo! English Club went well this week.  I always have fun when we have a fun craft to do with the kids.  They love it!  Our newest teammates will be here in just over a week! We're super-excited to get them here.  I can't believe we'll actually have a full 3-family team.  For so many different reasons, it has been years since that could be a reality in Palangkaraya.  God is so amazing a...
