Dear Family,
Bobby was on fire Tuesday night!
He preached the word and it was fun to
see him excited to tell others about Jesus. Yet, not all people were on track. When Bobby said, “Animal sacrifices were
temporary because we need a perfect person for the permanent solution. Who do you think that could be?” Everyone was saying Jesus except the person
next to me. They said to me only, “I
wanted to say Alexander Hamilton but I think the real answer is Jesus.”
Prayer request time can also
bring up interesting conversation. One
student was excited that the salmon eggs in class had hatched. Bobby wanted to share his knowledge. He said, “And do you
know what baby salmon are called?” After
a bit of stuttering, the person said, “Salmon, salmon, salmonella?” (Apparently, no, the answer is fingerling.)
Another moment Bobby had to stop
the lesson to find out what people were talking about. He has the utmost desire to be in the
know. “I was just asking what flavor her
shoes were.” The person next to her
said, “Black?” The person next to me said, “Dirt with a hint of gum I stepped
on yesterday.”
When Bobby felt frustrated he
told someone, “You are a bad bunny.” Our
friend asked, “Did you just Veggie Tales shame me?” And, he had, Bobby had just veggie tales
shamed someone.
Bobby also painted more bathroom doors and molding. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes. He cares about the details much more than I do so he doesn’t ask me to help. I am so blessed that he is giving his time for this. Bobby also made several amazing meals and we are filled with healthy yummy food.
Bobby tried a new board game
with me and it was fun to play together and just be.
When my back hurt Bobby brought
me things and took care of me even though he wasn’t feeling well that day. He’s so sweet.
Adriel visited and it was lovely
to see her and spend some time with her.
Seth registered for next
semester at Chemeketa. He asked for my
input on some classes and it was nice to see him working hard and being OK with
the effort it takes to continue on with school.
May you also continue pressing
on in these hard times and find joy in the love you share with all you
encounter. Love and hugs, Cristy
PS would you believe the garden still has sunflowers? It's November!
