Summer is for Cook-Outs!

Sunday night we had a cook-out at our house. The food was fantastic (Thanks, Kyle!!!) and we had a great time eating and hanging out! Most of those who came are those who come to our Wednesday night Bible study, though there were a few who are still on our "prospective" list!

 

Also we are in our second week of Spanish classes. Our teammate Janae is teaching and we had more than 45 people register to take the classes!

Offering Spanish classes is something new here in Prilep; in fact I don't think there is a single other school offering Spanish! Our English and Spanish classes are used as tools to meet new people and then offer them the chance to also study the Bible with us.

So far God has really blessed our English classes and many of our students have also joined our Bible studies. Pray that our Spanish students will also show interest in studying the Bible.

Happy Birthday, Joshua!

Last Wednesday was Joshua's 11th birthday! He celebrated with friends the day before since his best friend was heading out of town on Josh's birthday.The tradition in Macedonia is to pull the ears of the birthday person to help him grow! Rebekah was happy to show Josh's friends how we "honor" the birthday boy in America!Then we had our Kirkpatrick traditional birthday breakfast of pancakes followed by a lunch celebration of homemade corndogs with family (including teammates Spencer, Janae and Kate) on Wednesday.
We love you so much, Josh, and are so proud of the young man you are becoming! May this next year see you grow daily in Jesus' love and wisdom, even as you grow taller and taller (possibly shooting up past your ole mom?)!
