Wow, it's already November?! Time is now flying by. I've had a busy week, and it's been great.
Last Wednesday, Oct. 29th, we had 3 of our colleagues over for supper- they are all MA's (Missionary Associates) here in the Netherlands. MA's are basically a step between what I am as a short-term MAPS missionary, and my parents who are career missionaries. MA's come for 1, 2 or 3 years to a country and work with a career missionary.
Anyway, the three of them are all 25-26 years old, and the 6 of us literally had a BLAST! I am thankful for these three wonderful, FUN friends that God has placed in my life :)
Sunday the 'rents and I were invited to sing and preach (my Dad) at a church in Zeist, NL. The people are always so welcoming- we sang there almost 2 years ago now, and had the same great reception.
Tuesday I hung out with two of my MA friends (from Wednesday), and one of their friends as well... it was an awesome day of sightseeing! I didn't feel like a tourist much, since I knew where we were most of the time, and we were all about equally lost when it came to reading signs! Actually, we're doin' pretty good, haha.
Tuesday night I had set-up and practice for KidzArk. It was a blast! We had students from an NL Master's Commission helping out- I'd met all of them before, and working with them was incredible! We had a great time at the Kids crusade the next day.
Today I babysat for my AWESOME friends (E and R) for their son (F). He's an 8+month old CUTIE! His Mom is in the states for a week for a wedding, and his Dad needed to go to class (he's not an overachiever or anything..... yeah), so I met him at the University where my parents teach, and watched Baby for an hour and a half. We had a great time!
Tonight was Fire Choir (WOO)! I am going to miss those peeps somethin' FiErCe!! Practice was great, but we are reaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyy getting close to our concert (21 November, EEEEEEEEEEEkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!! Scary!).
Well, those are my thoughts on this fine night. It's 12:44 am, which means I need to head to bed. Hugs and love to all
