This Has Been a Good Week

John gathered the children grades 1-8 to the table for their first BSF lesson in a long time. Though it just won't work for me to attend right now, it was a blessing to see all the kids working along with their Daddy, my husband. By the time it was time to go, most of the kids had already memorized their verse.

When they got home they were all excited to share what they had learned. While they were at their class I was able to read a chapter from Radical with Caleb and Adam.

Anastasia and Paul did not go this time. John wanted to ask the childrens' leaders what they thought about having them go if they could not really understand the lesson. They encouraged John to bring them next time which was such a blessing to hear. Paul and Anastasia and are excited at the idea of going next week.... and Sveta will probably go too!

Julia had a cell project that was due today. This time she made it completely edible... so did Annalyn whose project is due tomorrow.

Remember this? Well it's Jonny's turn now, poor guy. He has been running a high temperature for the last three days and now he has the mouth sores. How strange that there would be nearly a month of nothing and now this. Still, Jonny is a trooper and manages to get all his school work done.

The kids have been writing to their friends up north when John mistook a sticker for a real stamp. I was leery that the stamp was real, but Anna sent the letter off anyway.

I guess I was right.

Look who got his driver's permit today! Nervous the whole morning, Adam ended up only missing three questions. Congrats! This weekend he has his first driver's training session.

Next week, he will officially begin driving. I can hardly believe that I have a child old enough to drive.
