First the kids wanted to say a special Hello to their PapPap Jim! We are praying and thinking of you!
We went on our first hike. Well, it was more of a walk! We walked to the airstrip! It was a nice walk down but the way back up almost killed me!! It was worth it! It was very pretty!
Gretchen and Dad getting started on our walk!
This was about halfway down to the airstrip!
This was at the airstrip! Still okay in this picture! Thankfully nobody took any pictures on the way up the hill!!
Elliott made some new friends! Their names are Godlove and Jesse! They are all boy! Elliott has been more dirty and muddy in the last 2 weeks than in his entire 7 years of life!!! Elliott also likes telling them about Star Wars! The boys like to play with the lightsabers that Elliott brought with him!
Megan and I have finished our first rugs! I made mine for Elliott and Megan made her own! We now are going to start working on some for the rest of the house! We are going to make some little ones to use as potholders too! I am going to try to make a Mickey Mouse head rug for Gretchen's room! I am going to try it as a potholder size first to see if it works! I will post a pic if it turns out okay!
Here they are!!! I am really proud of Meg! She worked hard on hers! I think Grandma Pepple would be proud!!!!
Randy went on a "real" hike with some of the other missionaries this week! It will be a little while before I can or the kids can take these hikes but we are determined by the end of our stay to do it!!
This is a picture from on top of the mountain! Our house is one of the little tiny specks in the valley!!
Here is another view!!
Here are some cows! The cows over here just wander around! They have no fences! Randy saw these on his hike! He also saw wild horses!!
Jen, Randy, and Megan went to Bamenda shopping this past Wednesday. While they were in town they found a little Christmas tree!! So last night we decorated our tree!
Megan and Jen made popcorn strings for our tree!
Everyone helped to decorate it!! Elliott turned his Lego Star Wars people into the ornaments!
And here is our end result!
Our Christmas tree!!!!
It has a little bit of everything! Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, and Steelers!!!
Thank you for all the emails and prayers!
I love the pictures and the sharing. I love the tree and think it looks great. It does have a little bit of everything. The hiking looks nice, but it is a long way! I LOVE your rugs. So pretty. Julie Ann
ReplyDeleteLove reading your post and hearing how you all are doing. fantastic job on the rugs, Grandma would be very proud and impressed! Love the story of Elliott getting dirty! Dirt is just doing what God made it for, it is just being dirt. I think God made dirt for little boys to play in, LOL Just ask Uncle Glenn or Uncle Paul!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and the work you are all for the glory of God!
