So, I’m still getting things back to the way they were, so please excuse the construction dust 
(BTW, like the new header color scheme?)
Pix break 
Sunday, all of us (expect the Beal’s) met after church at the Steele’s apartment. (Alexandria was getting over being sick, so we didn’t want her to catch something else…) We had lunch and then our game(s) of Catan. It was a good time of fellowship and refreshment and, of course, food Afterward, Daniel, Josh, and I pulled out our computers to use the wifi, and to get a few things done (including fixing this blog). Here’s the pic:
Working on the laptops...
So, here comes the windows joke, if this will offend you, please skip this paragraph and go to the next. There now, since all of the weird people are gone jk… Here is the title Josh has for it on Twitter – ‘Of Macs and Men’ My thinking was – “An Apple a day keeps the Vista away!” Both Daniel and I are Mac converts primarily because of that sorry piece of trash called Vista Ok, now I’m going back to the normal account of the week. :-P
Daniel Courter arrived Friday night for CMO.
Daniel Courter
He arrived about 2 weeks before the project started, so he’s been helping me at the Ministry Center (also known as my apartment, at least to me ) prepare for CMO. We’ve been able to get a lot done since he’s arrived! The room that holds all of the ETO materials (tracts, lessons, Good & Evils, literature, etc) looks really great! I would put up before/after shots, put, alas, I didn’t take a before! Anyway, Daniel will be living in my apartment until CMO starts on the 1st, which is also when the CMO apartment we are renting becomes available. It’s been an encouragement to me having Daniel here. I have been able to translate for him a little (mostly at the store and in greetings), so I can see my language studies have been helping!
Speaking of language studies, I had a really good lesson on Monday! Last Friday, though, was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I was soooo ready for the weekend after that! We really had to wrestle through the concepts of telling time; though I had the main ideas down, the words just weren’t coming. Then, towards the end, my brain placed itself on lock-down, so that didn’t help things either But, they tell me that is normal… Like I am ever any thing near normal! lol Thankfully, Monday was a really good lesson, so I am not dreading my next lesson
Tonight is English club/Audio Bible Study. It starts in 3 hours… We would appreciate your prayers for this ministry. Tonight, Josh is teaching out of Romans. He will be picking up in Romans 3:21. Josh posted some about what he’s been teaching, to read it, click here.
Tomorrow morning, Jessie, Josh, Daniel, Edgar (a Ukrainian friend), and I will be heading into the mountains to do a scouting trip. We will be collecting contact information from the village heads where we plan to show a film, and tentatively setting a date to do so… We will be returning Thursday night. Please pray for safety, productivity, favor with the village heads, and no interference from the village priests.
I added a twitter feed on the right hand column. I will be able to update this while in the mountains via SMS. So, if you don’t have a twitter account, you can check here to see what going on in 140 character or less!
Lastly, I found out today that a friend of mine, Joshua Muse is heading to Sudan for 2 months this summer to work with a pastor there sharing the Gospel. There is a window of opportunity to share the Gospel there that might close next year with another civil war outbreak. Please pray for his protection, boldness to share the Gospel, and for God to help him learn the 2 languages spoken there. God bless you Joshua!

Keep your lights burning for the LORD! There’s a big world of darkness out there! It only takes a spark…
God bless!
Love the new look! Great job with your blog.
