The girls had the usual during the week - dance class, girl scouts, and soccer. Elissa made her first GOAL on Saturday - it was quite exciting!!! And Sara played very, very well also. We have to split up for their games - so I missed Elissa's goal! I hope she does another one when I'm there!
I worked three days and I also joined a gym this week. I have gained 20 lbs. since we moved here and I am determined to lose it! I joined a place where I can lift weights or do the aerobic machines. I went twice this week,....just have to keep it up! :) This morning I was asked to lead music for the Kingdom Quest Sunday School program. I showed up, got a mic on and was ready to go,...when I was asked to do two other things - short on volunteers?!! Can you believe it?! Does anyone else have this problem?!! ha-ha! So I was also in a skit playing two different female parts. I had to do a quick change and say a couple lines! It's always more fun when things are done last minute!!! I so enjoy leading the kids in song - what a gift from God to watch them grow in his faith through music.
Matt had a neat first time experience this week. Our fieldwork church has a "seeker" service on Friday nights for those 17 years in age - 27 years of age. It's called REACH 1727. They have a band, and have a message - but it's not really a "service". Matt got asked to help participate by giving the message for the evening. He really enjoyed this. He also taught confirmation again this morning.
This week was also the first of many "vicarage" meetings. (It's interesting how they want spouses to come, but don't supply babysitters,....yet for me to come I had to hire a babysitter and it cost us $30 to go to this meeting. The meeting was about living on a vicarage budget/pastor's budget etc. We just found that humerous.) The vicarage is the year in which we will spend "somewhere" (yet to be determined) as an internship. Then we return to St. Louis for one more last year of schooling before our call to a church. This meeting was a little intimidating and now my mind races about things out of my control and also a ways off. I really have to learn to really throw my worries on the Lord and trust in him. I know where we are sent is where he wants us. It's all just a little scary. Please pray for us and all the other Seminarians and families going through this same step - it is scary for all of us and we could use prayers!
Love and blessings to you!
This Wednesday the girls both had a half day and the four of us went to the St. Louis Zoo. Matt came along with us and didn't bring a book!!! (we were so proud!)
