Today we helped some friends paint their new apartment before they move in this week. Friends we've only met once or twice before but have a deep bond together in the Messiah. A fiery sunset red, smooth baby blue, and a cool lime green characterized our afternoon. Next we'll return to help some more.
But as for this week, we enter our last week of the Jonah class. By now I can read two whole chapters of the Jonah narrative in the Hebrew text, no translations, no vowels, no kidding! (And I say this not to exaly myself because many others in the class can do this as well.) Tonigh another classmate and I went for a walk and just spoke basic sentences to each other about what we did today and what we would do tomorrow. This after only three weeks! What will three more brings? I'm excited to find out.
Thank you for your prayer support thus far, halfway! Rachel begins teaching swim lessons again this week in Michigan, as for sustaining grace on her behalf. Remember also our friends who are moving - pray for good connections with their new neighbors.
