Names

Nov. 16-19, 2015

Trying to remember what we do each day is getting to be too much for me.  I can come up with all kinds of excuses but as I reflect back on years past when I've tried journaling, I can see a pattern.  I start off with great intentions but they slowly peter out....

We took the kids bowling on Tuesday.  I don't think either of them had bowled before so it was a learning experience.  Slavik won the game.  Should I say, "Of course!"  He loves and is naturally talented to any athletic activity it seems.  I probably bowled my best game ever and was only a few point behind him.  (Maybe teaching grade 3 students how to bowl, paid off!)  Our regular translator was busy with our adoption documents so we had a new translator.  She is a very kind Christian lady.  God has blessed us over and over again with people that he has put on our path.

Yesterday our big event of the day was losing a banking card in an ATM.  We got a call this evening to say that they got the card out of the machine so we can go and get it tomorrow morning.  Not a nice feeling!

Today we took the kids out for lunch - pizza.  They really seem to enjoy pizza which will work out really well.  I'll have a "go to" meal that 6 out of 6 like.  I wonder how many meals I will be able to say that about?

We had more forms to fill out.  I'm not sure that I'll ever want to fill out another form when this process is finished!  These are for Manitoba which makes you think about coming back home.  Anyways we needed to have the kids' present names and their new names.  It's a whole new experience having kids choose their names instead of we as parents choosing the names for the kids.

MJ invited a missionary couple from Florida for supper.  They've offered to take us sight seeing on Monday.  We are looking forward to that.
