Pumpkin Carving 2009

I made this quick little video on the Animoto app on my iPhone. We had a great time carving pumpkins and eating their seeds.

Progress…

Remember that back in August we posted this picture of Nathan at school. He wouldn’t participate in anything and was having a rough time.

Well, there has been a lot of progress at school in the last few weeks. Here’s a video from yesterday’s open house.

His progress report also said…

In your language, you have very good grammar and vocabulary! Congratulations! But it is important to congratulate you, applaude you, and recognize that the progress you have had in Spanish is incredible! You are structuring and pronouncing words very well and you are now starting to take an interest in putting together phrases to communicate with others! Big congratulations!

I am so proud of my little guy. He is doing excellent and learning something new everyday.

One Month of Prayer

I just sent this message to The Poulette Family in Mexico, our family Facebook group. Since many of you who read this blog aren’t in that group, I thought I’d post it here, too. Will you pray with us this month?

Hi everyone. We hope you’re doing great. I just wanted to write to ask you go pray with us for a gigantic Youth Ministry Conference we are having on November 27-28. That’s in ONE MONTH!!! We’re expecting 300 or more youth workers and leaders from all over Mexico to come for this training conference.

We’re going to be posting something everyday asking you to pray for specific things. Would you commit to praying everyday this month for the conference?

If so, please go here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=8515608890&ref=ts and write on our wall, letting us know you’ll be praying for the National Youth Ministry Conference. Thanks!!

Thanks! We appreciate it and look forward to what God is going to do at the National Youth Ministry Conference in Mexico.
