FPO Week 4

Well, we're half way there. We've completed four of eight weeks of orientation. We have stayed so busy the time has really passed quickly.

Friday August 24 we got our first round of shots. Everyone did pretty well, other thatn Lee getting a bit pale on us. He gave all the medical team some entertainment. We have out next round of shots August 31.

Marty completed ESL which means he is certified to teach English as a Second Language. This is quite ironic for the man who hated English in high school.

Lee went on a field trip to two foreign markets: Asian and European. He bought Russian chocolate at the European market. They ate at a Mediterranenan restaurant. He enjoyed the food.

Emma Grace had some visitors in her classroom: exotic birds and scorpions. She has learned a lot about other cultures and the song "God is so Good" in Taiwanese.

We has another "special meal" Thursday. The meal was typical of South Asia and the Pacific Rim. We had curry chicken, rice and all kinds of toppings: diced tomatoes, pineapple, peanuts, coconut, raisins and some type of sour fruit preserves. It was good.

Bible study has continued to be very good as we continue through the book of Acts. We are using SPECKA which means you look at the verse to see if they have: Sin to confess, a Promise to claim, an Example to follow, a Command from God, Knowledge to understand,and Application to life.

Ways to hold the rope:
Language teacher for when we arrive in Russia
Letter of invitation and visa process
Eveni and Koryak Tribes
Rachel possible teacher for Lee and Emma

Tight Rope News:
Praise God for answered prayers. We have a teacher for Lee and Emma Grace for the time we are in full-time language school. We also get to by-pass Moscow and go straight to Kamchatka.

Thanks for holding the rope!!!
