Last night, we had an impromptu movie night. Jan Manz brought along the movie "Heaven's Rain", and since Sunday's movie night worked so well, we thought we would try it again. After making the decision about mid-afternoon, Emmaline got on the phone and called people to invite them, and in the evening, we all gathered in the sanctuary to watch it and had some visitors join us. We were so encouraged! The movie is very thought provoking and we had some good discussions afterwards, and fortunately had enough ice cream left over from Sunday night to have dessert.
Today we continue on with projects, and the gals have decided to paint the kitchen in the cottage. We started on that after we chased the lizard out of the living room while we were varnishing the floors...... This is life in the desert!
Tonight will be a special "Singspiration" event at the church with a traditional Indian taco meal beforehand with church members and then lots of music upstairs. Pictures of that to follow tomorrow. These kinds of event evenings are always so special when we get to meet and be with other believers, and spend time with those in the community. It's amazing to us how a part of things we feel; very welcome and at home.
We are so blessed to be here. God is at work here at this church and that encourages us greatly. It is so good to be able to join in what He is already doing and be a part of it and be used to move things forward.
A few pictures....
This is Jan and Harlan weeding the front yard...Harlan and his wife will move into this house when he comes in January to be the full time pastor, and Emmaline and Gibson will move from this house into the smaller house we worked on last year.
I got started singing praises with you a bit early for tonight. When I see these blog updates I can't help but praise God for what He is doing.
