'Oumas' and more
Wow! Time flies when you're having fun... Or time disappears when you have a baby!
It's been five great weeks since my last post. Liya-Jean will be 8 weeks old on Saturday, which will also be the day that her 'ouma' (Afrikaans for grandmother) leaves to go back to South Africa. The baby had been spoilt rotten by both oumas! Actually, her third 'lola' (Tagalog for grandmother), Rosanna, has also been adding a great deal to the spoilage! I don't know how Liya is going to cope with her two boring parents after all of this.
It's been a real joy to see her develop into her own little personality. She is such a happy and contented baby. She's been showing off the most beautiful smiles lately. And she doesn't feel the need to entertain you if she's not in the mood - she just avoids eye contact when she's tired of people getting in her face and making strange noises.
I will hopefully add a few recent photos and one or two videos of her soon.
Another awesome thing to rapport is that I had the privilege of going to Marseille, France, to attend our church planters boot camp. It was really, really good. I feel equipped with enough strategy to change the world for Jesus! The only challenge is to somehow get that strategy into real life, which is what we're trying to figure out at the moment. It's a good challenge, though, and I believe that God is really working with us so that we can be as effective as possible for Him here in Slough.
If that's your kind of thing, please pray with us as we go through this process - it's much appreciated.
Over and out for now... Peace to you
