Well the news says that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and 6 more weeks of cold for you all back home. I don't think Phil speaks for us down here though... As the days pass by and months change, it is incredible to think that Kirsten and I have been here close to 2 months! Time surely does fly!
The past week was one a quick one because we were on the go, go, go! We were both very busy with various teaching responsibilities. Kirsten has been busy with somewhere around 20 piano students, a high school girls Bible study, a choir, and to round it all off a 5 year old music class! I have been teaching Bible studies and preaching quite a bit, and this week was no exception. I taught 5 different times this past week! So the settling in has come and gone! But we are thankful for all the opportunities that we have to serve in Buff Bay. Please continue to pray for us as we minister and prepare our lessons and studies. Please pray that God's mercy, wisdom, and glory is the fuel for the fire in all areas of our ministry. It is still early in the work, but we see good things beginning to happen. We continue to have people from church stop by our house, which is a great blessing and a great opportunity to get to know people better.
As for the work permit exemption, still no word from the member of Parliament. Hopefully we will hear soon. God's provision has been evident from the first stage of this adventure, so this is just another issue that we are trusting to His providence.
We are taking more pictures now that we are seen not as tourists but as part of the town. So, for those who are dying to see pictures they are coming; we promise!
Grace and peace,
Jon and Kirsten
