We’ve been having a good time and a not-so-good-time here.<\/b>  Maybe that’s not so unusual.<\/p>\n

We would appreciate your prayers as we join with our friends at Path of Life Bible Church in Santa Barbara to reach out into a new neighbourhood with kids’ clubs and a special study for parents.  Last week’s turn-out wasn’t great, but Shari, Julian, Malu and some from the church handed out some more flyers yesterday, so we’re hoping for better things this week. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

\"Acts
Acts Contest!<\/figcaption><\/figure>On Sunday we had a special service at Path of Life Bible Church in Jes\u00c3\u00bas Mar\u00c3\u00ada.  All through the month of August, the congregation was encouraged to study the book of Acts.  Last Sunday, we had a special quiz to see who knew their stuff.  It was a competition between the women, the men, and the youth.<\/p>\n

I got to make up the questions – from easy, to normal, to hard, to very hard, to “almost impossible”.  (And they were.)<\/p>\n

One group worked particularly hard to prepare, and it showed.  Congratulations to the women!  (The men challenged them for a while, but eventually fell behind).<\/p>\n

If you know Spanish, you can take a look at the questions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The not-so-good has been health.  I’ve been sick since Thursday noon, and last night was the worst night yet.  Which means I’m getting better now, right?  Right?<\/p>\n

It looks like Shari has decided to join the ranks of the sick today as well. \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n

But we’re pushing ahead, trying to get some other outreaches up and running here, getting some Bible studies going, and of course getting Hannah and Nathanael edykated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
