Lazy Days.

Well, it's kinda been a lazy couple of days.

Yesterday we had a bit of a celebration.
Today, is our dear friend Rhys' Birthday.
Happy Birthday Rhys.
And so Tara and I said to ourselves:
"Selves, what shall we do to celebrate??"
And we came to the only possible conclusion....GUMBO.

So yes, I spent the greater part of yesterday slaving away in the kitchen...what else is new.
But let me tell you I loved every minute of it!
So I whipped us up some gumbo, Tara made a cake for our eating pleasure and it was all just so tasty.

The gumbo was a hit!!
(thanks for the Tony's mom!)
We invited some friends from the hostel, our friends that are serving in the area but on different teams and Rhys invited some of his actual friends.
All in all, last night was a fun night!

But sadly this morning we had to say goodbye to our roommates of the past week.
Yes, Susie and Alex left us.
Yes, it is very distressing.
They will be greatly missed!
It was so much fun having them around this past week!

So today Tara and I decided that the only way to cope with our sadness is to have a movie day at our supervisor John's house with some of the boys staying with him for the summer.
So far the menu has included Secondhand Lions and V for Vendetta.
Exotic choices, I know.

Now we are headed out for a walk to get some fresh air and sunshine!
I shall hopefully have more to tell yall next time I post.

Let me just say this starts my final week here in Wales.
This time next week I shall be at debriefing.
CRAZY!!

Pray that the Lord continues to use us here during our last week!
Pray that we don't lose focus and end our time here strong for the glory of the Lord.
