Sometimes we get on a day by day basis as far as homesickness goes...
Today wasn't too bad.
We went to church this morning and Chris and I taught the high school class. After going to service, we headed out to one of our favorite places for lunch and introduced Griff to a magical place that we call: Genghis Grill Mongolian Barbeque. It was delicious... I ate so much I got sick...
So once we had full bellies we headed to our apartment for a quick nap before we headed to the grocery store. Tonight we kicked off our high school small groups by having a BYOM (Bring Your Own Meat) party at Griff's house. There were a ton of kids that came and they all brought some interesting things to grill! Chris and I even recieved about 20 pounds of deer meat from one of the adults! (we are good to go!). It was a fun time of hanging out, eating, and talking with the kids about the importance of small groups. We had a blast playing football and ping pong as well. The kids are adoring Chris and having a great time with him. He is blending in nicely!
It was a good night.
We are about to go to bed due to early workouts in the morning. Continue praying that we have more good days then bad, even though we know the homesickness might not ever really go away. We are so thankful for the people here to have really invested time in us. They are gifts from God to help us through.
We love and miss you all! Here are some pictures from the party tonight... some are of Chris and Griff killing a massive spider that we found... I don't think I have ever laughed that hard!
