Resting and then Staying Busy

It was nice to have a couple of days to rest when we got back from Nicaragua.  We were so tired from the trip that instead of going to the 9:00 a.m. service on Sunday, we slept in and went to the 11:30 service.  It makes for a late lunch, though, because we didn't get home until after 2:00 p.m.

Tuesday we were back in IDEM, after missing a week.  I spent Wednesday afternoon helping the 6th graders with their spelling words again.  Thursday was another day for spelling bee practice and then we had church in the evening.  

Yesterday morning was the ladies Bible study--it was the first day for the Abundant, Faithful and True study by Kay Arthur, Priscilla Shirer and Beth Moore.  I rushed away from the study early to go pick up pizza for the 6th graders before our last day of spelling bee practice.  We went to the service in Lourdes last night because Stephen played the piano.  

This morning there were twelve ladies at Hilo, Aguja y Biblia.  We are making potholders and basket liners to share with the mom's of preschoolers at a small school close to the church.  

Sunday through Wednesday will continue to be a busy time.  Sunday we have church, Stephen is playing the piano for the Single Mother's ministry and then we are going out to dinner with friends.  Monday we are having a dress rehearsal for the spelling bee; Tuesday is Day 1 of the spelling bee, Tuesday night at IDEM we're celebrating birthday's so we're making homemade ice cream and then Wednesday is the spelling bee finals.
