Just a quick update to let everyone know that we threw another successful party last night, praise be to God. This time it was a rousing round of Bunco (the non-gambling version for those of you who were already getting your smark aleck comments ready), complete with all the normally dignified church members screaming and punching the tables by the end of the night. (Bunco has that effect on people.) One interesting thing that happened is that Eric threw 2 big buncos in a row (meaning all three of the dice landed on 6) and quickly did some math to find out that the chances of that occuring are less than 1 in 46,000! What talent that Dobbs kid has! He will indeed go down in the annals of Bunco history.=)

In addition, we have been blessed with a steady stream of readers. We will wrap up another week of reading tonight with more reading sessions than we had last week. Of course, more important than quanity is quality. We each now have stories of readers who are beginning to open up and let themselves become affected by the Word. We are so glad that we have 3 more weeks with them and look forward to the transformation God will work in them. We covet your prayers as we continue this process! Pray that the readers will want to come often (3 times a week is best), that they will come to their appointments, and that they will be thoughtfully considering the words of Luke. Pray for us that God will make us competent to do this work (2 Corinthians 3:5)

We love and miss all of you at home. As always, stay tuned for some photographic footage from the dynamic duo of Dobbs & Williams.=)

Dobbs is so smart! I'm very happy for all of you. Know that prayers are constantly going up in your behalf. However, when God's word is shared, it always does it's job. You might see the fruits of your labor, you might not. But know that it is hitting home. God's word has a way of doing that. Keep up the good work! :)

yes, I created a blog just so I can now make comments to your blog. You can visit my blog website at globalfreezing.blogspot.com where you will never see me post a message. By the way, globalfreezing is not a political statement, it was simply the last possible blog site name available (notavailable.blogspot was not even available).


It's heartwarming to see cultures mixing. And what better representation of American culture than Bunco? Eric, all those years of playing Risk are finally paying off in Malaysian bunco. Who would have thought it?
