Life is but a Vapor

The last month we have known two different people in the same work here in Indo. as us that have gone home to be with there Father. One was an eight year old girl who fell off a ravine while bike riding with her mom. The other was a 29 year old fellow student at our school who got sick and was gone home in a couple weeks. He left behind his wife and 2 year old daughter. These two leave such a legacy and to see the faith of there family has been truly challenging. Pry that we all would live life to the fullest today!

23 Reasons

23 Reasons to move to Indo. Josh has been growing his gotee out for over 5 months now (David Crowder like). The reason he has not shaved it is b/c he said he must get under 220 before he can shave it. He came to Indo. weighing a plush (yet sexy)243 and after 2 months of eating fried everything, drinking sweet tea like it might be his last cup, and exercising a little everyday he finally got down to 220 (at least for the day!) So for all the latest fads in weight loss just come to Indo. and eat what you want (especially if you want street food!!) and your goals are sure to be met!

Little Travelers

We recently got back from Thialand. We had a great time at the conference and saw many friends. Here's our boys riding on our luggage cart in the airport. It's hard traveling with little ones but our boys are becoming pros now! We are now adjusting back to our life here back at home in full time language school. Fun, fun!

The Coolest Guys in Thialand

Enjoying the Thialand beachside pool. The boys absolutely loved it and both of them really advanced in their swimming skills.

Two Brains Are Better Than One

As if there was any doubt; Candace made an A on our first language exam while Josh made a distant B! Baby Jedidiah must be smart!

Anyone for a Circumcision Party?

Joshua and Caleb are giving there sympathy to there new friend. We were invited, by personal invitation mind you, to our first circumcision party. Who knew? After receiving the invitation we thought it must be to a wedding considering the decor and colors of the paper. Little did we know that the leader of our community, whom we seem to have favor with, just wanted us to attend this very special ceremony for his grandson.

This is an 8 year old boy hours after having a circumcision. Thats right, in the major religion of this country boys must be of age to profess the religion in order to then be considered a man and thus be circumcised (personally I'd rather just stay a boy!). But all kidding aside this party that was thrown (complete with decorations, food to feed an army, over 100 people, music, presents, and two big cakes) makes us remember why we are here. Not just to meet new people and go to there parties, but be salt and light. Lift us up as we ask for wisdom.
