3rd Sunday Preaching and More Updates...

Sorry this post is later than I wanted it to be, however, we’ve been having a busy week. Raidel did another excellent job this past Sunday as he gave a sermon on what it is to be a good leader. The steering committee said it was one of his best yet!

This week Raidel and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary. We went to a Spanish restaurant while the World Cup Game: Spain v. Portugal was on. It was fun to sit around so many fanatics…everyone in the restaurant was wearing a Spanish jersey. Raidel, however, had on a green shirt (for no other reason than that’s what he was wearing that day); green happened to be the color for Portugal. Needless to say we didn’t get the best service (j/k).

It is hard to believe that we have been here a month already. Raidel will get a two week break from preaching after this Sunday; I can already tell his time is filling up with other pastoral things. He is starting/leading a group for young people on Friday nights and has many more home visits to do.Our first night with the youth is tonight! We are very excited!

I’m doing well with the pregnancy. The baby is healthy and kicking me all the time. I’m assuming it’s in the spirit of the World Cup – She’s excited that the Netherlands won today! Raidel and I are still discussing and thinking over names that we like. We are trying to narrow it down. The cool thing to me, though, is that God already knows her name and I think that’s just awesome!

Please continue to pray for us - for Raidel and his many responsibilities with the church and for me and the baby.
