May Newsletter '10

Greetings,

May was both fun and full, seems we got to do a little of everything this month. You'll read about my sister's visit to the island (she's an island pro now!), our team from Grace Church, and our final class for the school year in Rock Sound.

Kari and Julie's Visit

Following close on the heels of the grandparent's visits in April, Kari and our friend Julie came down for a week and a half. No big plans for their visit, just some quality time with Micah and relaxing (except for when I put them to work!).

Seriously though, both her and Julie are a huge help. It seemed like just making the house run was easier with them here. And the whole family was spoiled with all the extra attention and love. Micah still asks to play with her in the mornings and out dog Tag is a professional table-scrap begger!

We are very thankful for their trip and the time they spent with us.

Ministry in May

We had a repeat adult work team from Grace Church come down in the middle of the month, and boy did they work! This team was highly motivated to help in many ways. Not only did they put together an new enormous cistern at the Training Center, but they worked the entire week on a neighboring island partnering with a local church to repair a home which burned down 2 weeks prior.

We also had our Doctrines II course in Rock Sound, which completes all our courses for this calendar year. The class was fantastic and we had almost perfect attendance with some very lively class participation. Our students in Rock Sound are so encouraging; on one of the nights they surprised me with birthday party (I think they sang to me like 3 times that night!). It is such a blessing to serve and teach here.

Update
We are gearing up for a busy team season starting this month (June), and lasting through August. Teams are always such a blessing, they give of themselves and come to serve, and its just a great chance to be around other Americans too. Micah is growing fast, he's already bigger than some Bahamian 3-4 year olds. He has also mastered watching TV, and we think he has a crush on Michelle from "Full House!" Its very cute! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers this month.
