Baby Update

We went to the doctor yesterday for a check-up on the baby. Everything is looking great. We were able to see HER little face and she is gorgeous. The doctor says everything is looking great and developing perfectly. I am doing great as well. Please keep praying for our continued health and growth.

Here is a picture of me and my best friend from the states. We went out on the town one night while she was here and as we stopped to pose for a picture, we were attacked by a clown. He insisted on dressing us in some of his.... umm gear.

And getting a coffee

Apex Come and Gone

I tried for three days to get pictures of the Apex team loaded while they were here so you could praying for them. The internet was not cooperating so we are going to try again...

They did a great job and were such an encouragement to us as well as the people of Macedonia. They went to the beach everyday and tried to build relationships with people using volleyball, their good looks and their attractive personalities.

They also hosted an American party Monday night and had a great turn out. They were able to share with just about everyone that came as they treated them to yummy homemade chocolate cookies and chips and dip. My favorite comment of the night came when one of the Macedonian girls asked "What's in this white stuff?" (referring to the dip) and a very wise American, Amanda, answered, "ranch." I had to intervene and explain that to a Macedonian "ranch" translates as the place where you store your horses and cows. Despite some langauge barriers, the party was a success, and the team was awesome!!!

Enjoy the slideshow.

Team from Apex, NC

We have a team coming in from Apex Baptist Church this evening. In fact, they should be arriving in the capital city any minute to catch their bus down here. This team is bringing my best friend, Amanda, and I am so exicted. They will be doing some work on the beaches, ie, playing volleyball and badmitten with people and just hanging out trying to build relationships to help further the Gospel. We are so excited to be having them. Pray for their time here.

On Saturday we will be having a baptism service and then a big party afterward so expect lots of pictures.

AGM and Greece

We did not post this BEFORE we left (which would have helped), but we spent the last two weeks in Greece. Every year we have a meeting with other people like ourselves in Central and Eastern Europe. Last year it was in Poland and this year it was in Greece. We stayed on an island about 60 miles from Athens for the week and it was great. Two days before AGM, we stayed in Athens and did some site seeing. Below are a couple pictures of the Acropolis. Of course, I have about 200 more pictures so if anyone is interested in more, send us an email.

The Parthenon is under construction so there was as much support structure as there was stone!


This is a view of the mountain top from the very end of the plateau.


And this is a picture of theater of Herod Atticus. It is most known nowadays as the place where Yanni plays.

After AGM, we spent 4 days camping on the Peloponnese peninsula below Athens in a town name Tolo. It was borderline too hot to camp, but since we were at the beach during the day it wasn't so bad. One day we found this spot outside of Tolo farther down the coast:



Tolo is a town on the beach but as the town ends, a "real" beach begins. This is a picture of the beach just beside a restaurant.

Overall it was fairly relaxing, but definitely hot. It made us appreciate the air conditioning that we had had at AGM.
