Deep Breaths

Groupie

After our little late night musical experience, we took some time waking up this morning. I had to run to the courthouse to begin some paperwork for our marriage license around mid day and then spent most of the afternoon writing out invitations for the wedding.

John had fun finishing some of his unpacking and organising his things. It's really cool to see our stuff combined. Felt like I was getting all these christmas presents early! In fact, it felt like I had been given the stock of a small Mackays! Needless to say, I was very excited.

This evening we had our weekly youth meeting. The students are leading worship this Sunday morning and they have asked John to play drums for them. When he practised with them before the meeting, they were all very impressed and excited. (And I was cheering in the background like a faithful groupie!!) One of the church workers was dropping off his daughter and his eyes lit up when he saw John behind the drums. We are going to have to figure out a good excuse so that he isn't asked to play every week! Oh the trials of being so talented and popular! :P

The meeting itself went really well and the kids responded exactly as we had hoped. They are very interested in learning more about the bible and I think it will be very beneficial for them to truly understand it holistically and not just as bunch of fairy tale miracle stories from Sunday School classes.

It was also very encouraging to see some of the kids making an effort to talk to John and connect with him. I'm sure he felt very lost most of the evening as we babbled on in Greek but I was very proud at how much he actually picked up on despite the language barrier.

Tomorrow will probably end up being a bit hectic but we are going out for dinner (Chinese) with my parents and another couple who are trying to help us find an apartment in the near future.

We love and miss you all....thanks for all the ungoing support, prayers and encouraging comments. They really make our day!
