Week 3 and Week 4


So here we are at the end of May already. For some reason the blog update I did last week didn't get posted so here we are a week later and with a whole lot of new information.


Last week was full of morning and afternoon classes which wore us all out including the kids. We talked about SYIS-Sharpening Your Interpersonal Skills. Some of the issues we discussed were loving listening, drawing people out, confronting well, building trust, and living in community. We have to go back through the notebook to keep our refreshed on the skills we learned.


This week Roy is studying different techniques on learning a different language. I have been attending different sessions this week. Those sessions have been on FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome), sexual abuse, and suicide. It's been a heavy week for me to learn about all the terrible things that can happen and that do happen frequently to people.


The girls have learned about Jericho this week and are now learning about Jonah and how he ended up in the belly of the big fish because he didn't listen to God. Eden is sleeping through the night consistently. She likes to ride her tricycle everywhere she goes, and Karina decided today that she wanted her training wheels off of her bike. Now she'd like them back on after falling quite a few times, but with practice and perseverence I think she'll be riding without the training wheels before we leave. That's all for now.
