Yummy!


Grossest thing happened at Church the other day when we were getting ready to take communion. Here everyone that partakes of it goes up to the front to hold hands and prayer, etc. Anyway I was right up the front and as the pastor took off the table cloth covering, a big ol' cockroach ran out and under the table. Everyone made a mad dash to try and kill it but it was too fast. The pastor said next time we must flame our bread before putting it on the table (holding it over an open flame to kill any germs as bread doesn't come wrapped here). Anyway as we started praying the little guy came out running around our feet until someone finally squished him. Never a dull!

Not sure if I mentioned before about us finding a church that we really like, it took a bit as all the churches here are very loud (huge speakers in tiny little rooms, literally can't hear your self think). Anyway we came across a small new church plant, about 11 months old now. The Pastor is really great and so is his wife Mary. They have three small children just like us. Had them over for dinner and got on really well. Jake has preached at the church a couple of times already and we feel really at home there, a real blessings. After the team has come and gone, I'm going to start helping out with the Children's Church (not enough time right now).

HI! (This is Sarah!) O my gosh! That is soooooooo funny and grows! So how long do you think the little guy was under there? LOL! I probably would have freaked out! But that’s probably because iv never encountered a situation like that!

Lots of love!
