...coffee beans!

This time it wasn't me that was homesick - it was my

friend.  She's been here for one year now, studying 

Spanish before she heads off to learn yet another new 

language, one that's never been written down, 

spoken by an unreached people group.  

Well, her and her parents (who live in the USA) love 

coffee and like to roast and grind their own beans.  

She recently received a package from them with coffee 

beans in it!!  Isn't that super special?! 

So, we invited her over to show us how it's done!

I'm not a huge coffee fan, but it was extremely tasty!

If you like coffee, maybe you can pray for Katie 

the next time you drink some! 

...friends who share their marshmallows!

Did you have a S'more this summer?

 Around here marshmallows and 

graham crackers are a rare commodity.  

There is one store that sells a bag of marshmallows 

for about $10.00.  It's a bit pricey! 

Well, our friends just got back from the USA and 

they happened to pack their leftover S'more ingredients!

And the crazy things is...they shared it with us!

They were SUPER YUMMY!

It's so cute how God throws in extra "little" good 

things just to show His love!

...a good beginning to a new school year!

 This teacher LOVES her students!!

 This year we're using:

Bible: Joshua, Judges

Math-U-See

Emma Serl's Language Lessons

Spelling City

Sonlight Readers

Apologia Science: Zoology 1

Beautiful Feet American History

Pre-K for our little guy will consist of:

reading books together, playing 123/ABC games,

Sheppard Software (great website!), 

a preschool workbook, playing with brothers, etc.!

 Our main goal is to see our boys become more and more 

like Christ.  School is a part of that.  Intermingled with 

science and spelling we are teaching them about 

faithfulness and doing their work "heartily, as to the Lord 

and not to men...".  As they write and study English, 

they are learning to "do everything without complaining".   

Every day we endeavor to train and teach them in the 

ways of the Lord because we believe this will bring them 

true joy! 

And WE are growing right along with them!

(Colossians 3:23, Philippians 2:14, 1 John 1:1-5)
