Back into the swing of things

This month has been a good transition back into our ministry here.  The week after we arrived back, Keith was part of the leadership gathering which basically plans the direction of the ministry of our base  for the next year.  Then the following week both of us were part of meetings with the Titus Project team.  Other then planning for the next year we haven't been up to a lot more than that.

In the month of September, there are a couple holidays.  One is the Moon Festival and another is Teacher's Day.  During Moon Festival it has become a tradition (due to some great marketing) to  barbecue outside under the moon.  So during our Titus meetings one evening we all had a barbecue on our leader's roof.  Then to celebrate Teacher's Day, we wanted to honor and bless our Chinese teachers so we cooked them a meal.

We met again with our Bible study and it was really good to see them after our long break for furlough.  Everyone was excited to be back studying the Word together again.  We've decided to go through the book of Mark with them.  More non-believers have expressed interest in studying with us, so our little home Bible study may be expanding soon.  Please continue to pray for James, Andrew, and John as we study the life and teachings of Jesus in the book of Mark with them.

Elliot is literally running everywhere now and speaking jibberish constantly.  He only sits still for a few seconds before he must go and do something else.  Keith has become his favorite jungle gym but if he gets hurt, only Mom is of any comfort.
