Dear family,
I am
glad Bobby and I took time to be together on Monday. We had a nice time at Pho Keizer and talked
about our separate weekends and how they went.
I thought he was talking about leaving Church that morning after work
when he said, “I saw some people hunting mushrooms.” This seemed confusing to me (I don’t think
our church grounds have anything extra growing). I asked, “How would they be hunting mushrooms?” Bobby became a little confused as well,
“Well, not with guns.” Was his
response. Then we figured out he was
talking about near lake Pamelia where he had gone hiking with some buddies. That made more sense.
Middle school group was fun and good. During the lesson Bobby mentioned how self-conscious
he was in middle school if dressed in the dark and accidentally had mismatched
socks. He needed to mention that this
was before it was cool to mismatch socks.
Someone piped in with, “Back in the ooooold days.”
High school group had warm greetings, lovely faces and
friendly smiles. I enjoy our youth. During the lesson Bobby introduced a new
Greek word. εὐαγγέλιον is a pretty cool
word. It means good news or the
gospel. I recognized it
immediately. I mentioned publicly that I
had taken Greek for two years. Bobby
shot back, “It was two semesters.” My
immediate external processing thought was, “Oh, it felt like years.” And that is how long it took Bobby to
convince me it would be way more fun to be his wife than be a missionary in
Africa translating the Bible.
One of my favorite things about Bobby is his cooking. It’s so good!
His effort fills our bellies, gives us satisfaction, warmth and
joy. I am very blessed that Bobby
cooks. He made stir fried rice with
veggies and shepherds pie this week.
Both were amazing.
While Bobby was gone again this weekend I had time to
replant some gladiolas Adriel had given me.
It is amazing how much they have reproduced in two years. How fun.
We will have a LOT more flowers in the years to come. Adriel said their roots look pretty so that
is our picture for today.
I have enjoyed conversations with Adriel. She is teaching young people how to skate
board and enjoys giving lessons very much.
I am glad she does get to be a teacher.
This is something she wanted to do pre-covid. And how fun that it’s skateboarding. She has a lot of wisdom and is willing to
give it to those around her.
May you find beauty in God’s handiwork. As He continues to shape, mold and reproduce
in you may you enjoy what He is doing.
As He prunes may you be graceful with the pain and radiate His love even
when it hurts.
Much love,
Cristy
