This is dedicated to my dear husband, Dennis, he is currently enroute to the cold country but warm hearts in NH. Please all who read, if able, give him a hug for me :) and the children.
We as a family have thouroughly enjoyed our time together in the ministry, at home and in the markets here in SL. Never before have we been able to spend so much time together, it has truly been a blessing beyond compare!
The countdown is on to the day he returns to SL. I know his studies are also counting the days. He had four attend on Sunday, the house was again overflowed with 164 in attendance. We have convention January 4,5,6 in Freetown at the National Stadium, we are awaiting it with joyous anticipation.
The children are doing well, they have started to talk of snow since hearing of the snow back in NH. Here it is quite comical to hear christmas songs with it being so hot and feeling like August. We heard there is a wonder boy by the name of Spencer in NH that is planning to make three snowmen, named Hunter, Lyam and DJ :) thankyou Spencer! Have fun! Maybe even have a little hot chocolate for us too?
We were pleasantly surprised that I was able to find a place in the city market that sells american food, dent and dinged cans etc at very reasonable prices, we even got chocolate rice krispies! and gummie princess candy, and potatoe chips, Hunters favorite Dorito's and Pop tarts, can you believe it!!!! Pink pop tarts for Hunter!
They even had Sloppy Jo, so we purchased ground beef and treated brother Howard a special pioneer visiting from Liberia, serving here temporarily, to a traditional sloppy jo meal, with whole kernal canned corn too! Yum a taste of home.
Well now that I have made you hungry, I will let you know what Shelby did last night,
she nearly swallowed a fly! It was quite hillarious as she had been trying to just trap it under her cup and instead it was in the cup 5 minutes later without her knowing. We were playing trivial pursuit and suddenly she spewed water, all over the table, game, herself etc, and the fly...... it was still alive..... until she stepped on it :0
Our studies continue to come along well, Lyam even though not a publisher yet, has a study! Go figure! He was even busy yesterday trying to read ahead to prepare, he is really trying to learn to read and we are seeing good progress, it has been a struggle for him since coming home with no english. He is very mathematically inclined and excells in that aspect.
All the kids are doing well with their schooling. Shelby and Lorelle have colds this week, nothing too serious, although the little ones laugh when Shelby speaks as her voice is hoarse. They will try to come to the internet tomorrow, but if not don't worry they will email again as soon as possible. Thankyou, to all their email pen pals it is truly a blessing, they look forward to the communication very much.
Some have asked about DVD's and CD's, yes we can play picture cd's and dvd's we have a personal laptop at our house.
Thankyou to all for your love and support, may Jehovah be with you and keep you warm and safe,
Lorie
