Everyday Fun

The girls and a I have been able to do some fun things with Jon and friends these past few weeks.  There are times I forget we are in a foreign country and then I take my awesome kids to the store/park/beach and it turns into touch fest with the locals and I then remember.  I am thankful that they love people and will interact with them even though none of us know what the other is saying, except the old man who kept making a hugging motion and saying cute while pointing at Kelly.  At the 5 month mark we have hit a nice rhythm with school, chapel and work.  Jon became the Family Life and Discipleship Pastor last week (children's pastor) at chapel.  They wanted chaplains to be in charge of certain ministries and since we were heavily involved it was a natural fit:)
