Hey family!
I just wanted to update you- it's been so fun around here. Ruth lives with us (reminiscent of our days in Redwood when Jeremy & Brian lived with us :) and since she lives with us, half the parties happen here! It's a hoot. She's always bringing people home (she always asks, of course!) from Tuesday night, or on weekends, or after Thursday tea, or Friday after worship. In fact, tonight after worship, the plan is to order pizza and do a movie on the big screen in the great room.
This is so fun for us- because the house is finally being used the way we intended. Last night after tea, one of the girls brought her wii and her new dance game. When Phil returned from his men's group (the Man Clan) - he returned to a bunch of girls dancing in the great room. They made him stay and watch a few dances. He came to bed chuckling.
Grace has gotten involved with a group in town who is working on an anime cartoon series. She edits for them. They call themselves the "nerd posse." We had the Nerd Posse over last Monday night for a big screen showing of How To Train Your Dragon. It was hilarious.
This sunday is our International Sunday. We'll have a crowd over to cook Nepali & Indian food and hang out. I keep meaning to take a video for you....will try to remember!
It's wonderful to have community bubbling around us again. Now they're all talking fundraisers for our SALT conference in January so we can take a crowd. One young lady said to me yesterday, "I feel peace when I'm at your house." Another guy said that this was the closest thing to being at Bethel church (in Redding) that he's ever experienced.
I don't mean to blow our own horn. I'm just excited that God is doing so much stuff here.
Have a great week, family! we love you!
