What a busy week!

Well, a lot has gone on since the last time I posted. We had a late valentines party on Wednesday night for the kids. We had a great turn out. 41 kids and 14 adults. We sang songs, talked about the definition of love, watched the dvd of their Christmas party, ate lasanga and then cake and icecream. The cake was cute. It said Jesus loves you on it with hearts and sprinkles. I decorated the tabled with confetti and stuff, but I should have known it wasn't going to stay a table decoration for to long! It became a hair decoration, a shirt decoration, and a beautiful floor decoration! Lets just say it was a lot of fun to clean up afterwards. After the cake and icecream, the kids were quite hyper. So I waited until they were on their way out the door to give them their cup full of candy and other valentine goodies. My mom sent them balloons and stickers. They were quite excited to get surprises all the way from Texas. To end the night we gave each family group a chocolate rose to give to their mothers. It was quite fun.
On Friday, I went skiing again. This time around was more successful than the first. I got off the bunny slope and on to a real one. I made it down twice with some minor falls due to rocks and ice, and up the mountain on the lift. I still am not quite sure if I like the sport. However, I paid for a package deal of three lessons so I at least have to go one more time. Rebecca says I have to go again with her when she comes, so maybe by the time I come home I will like it more.
Saturday, we had another spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Christian motorcycle Association. We had a good turnout for it also. We didn't have any leftover spaghetti and passed out several Bibles and tracts to families. This time music was provided by a couple in the group. They did some old gospel songs and some modern praise songs. It was a great mix for all those who attended. We look forward to another dinner in the middle of March.
Church today went well. We talked about how it is important to read and memorize God's word. We talked about the temptation of Jesus and said that He was able to overcome that temptation because he hid God's word in His heart and lived by it. Then we had fun memorizing verses in all kinds of fun ways. I think their favorite was doing it in different voices.
I guess that's about it. Looking forward to another busy week and what God is going to do in the lives of these children.
