Greetings from Vajta! We do hope you’ll pardon the tardiness of this letter. Here a few of the things that happened in the last 31 (or so) days…
The Summer Conference Season is officially over and it was a great one. More than 1,900 guests passed through our doors and we heard many great reports from people that said they were blessed and refreshed. We had a great group of volunteer workers for our “Summer of Service” program and that provided a big help.
Leah turned six on the 29th! She’s so big now! She started the first grade today (Monday the 3rd of September) and is doing great. (Along with some Legos and some cool clothes, she got a new puppy and named her Daisy.)
Ian was baptized at the pool here! He has been asking for the last year or two and so we asked him again what it is all about and he explained that he wants to follow Jesus. It is amazing to see his heart as well as his sisters’ hearts growing in the love and awareness of Jesus. Ian will be in the third grade this year.
Kara & Mikayla are also growing and growing. No “official” school for them this year, but Christi will doing a lot with them at home while their big brother and sister are at school in the mornings.
We had a wedding here two days before school started which was a blessing, but… just one more item on the list of things to do in between finishing the conference season and getting ready for CCBCE to begin. Phew! After the wedding, Christi, Ian, and Kara all danced the night away. Jeremy, Leah, and Mikayla went home and watched Ice Age 2 and ate popcorn.
Ireland: there was an outreach (I might have mentioned this in our last newsletter) on the west coast of Ireland at a town called, Lahinch. I’m still waiting to hear how that all went and I’ll try to pass that along when I hear back.
Jeremy played at a percussion performance here in Vajta for a community day and in another little town as well. Jacint, one of the cooks here at the castle, invited Jeremy to join him in doing the all percussion performance. It was very cool and apparently a big hit with a lot of the young people in both places.
Bible College also got underway today with the first day of orientation. Jeremy will be sharing with the students at the weekly Sunday night chapel service for the school and also teaching the book of Acts two days a week. We’re looking forward to a great time of ministry with the students and are excited to see what God might have in store for them during these next few months.
No vehicle yet, but we’re still asking the Lord about that one. If you feel so inclined to join us in praying for this, there are six of us and we’re still looking into the possibility of adoption, so… a nine-seater would be the way to go in your prayers. Thanks!
That pretty much sums it up for the month of August. Another chapter concluded and another one right on the other side of the page.
Loads of blessings,
Jeremy, Christi, Ian, Leah, Kara, Mikayla, Lola, and Daisy
