May 29 - June 2

This week was pretty typical, except for Wednesday, Aunti Joy's funeral. Ken and I were both asked to be a part of the service: I was asked to play piano and arrange some singers for three hymns, and Ken did the powerpoint and sound. It was an honour to be a part of her funeral and I arranged for two singers and a recorder to be play along with me. About 300 people came to remember her - what a testimony! The service was beautiful and although somber, it was not filled with tears, but instead joy at remembering her life and the love she had for her Saviour and Lord Jesus. We all knew where she was!

This week Ken decided to teach another course at BCNZ in the spring (our spring, your fall). It is an upper-level course for students about to graduate! So that will be exciting to work with more advanced students and see them get their diplomas/certificates!

I was scheduled to have an interview with a radio station to see about working part time or having an internship (just to get some experience in broadcasting using my music background). However, the manager was out sick on our day for the interview and will contact me when he is better. We'll see where this leads - I'm open either way as I firmly believe that if it's something the Lord wants me in, it will happen! No need to worry about it!

On Saturday morning, Ken got up before dawn to get out to Damien's house because it's duck season! Yes, they went duck hunting and actually got quite a few! Ken shot three, and we have a whole carcass as well as some breasts. I should figure out some recipes I guess!

Later that evening we went to Kate and Damien's again for tea and to hang out to watch the rugby. It was a fun game (probably because NZ won! yeay!) and it was great to see the Humphries' wedding album! There pictures were so pretty - and their photographer used one of their photos for the back of their business cards!

Please continue to keep the mission to Indonesia in your prayers. It's only a month away and there is still no news as to where they are going/where they are staying/etc. It's a leap of faith for them to just get on a plane and not know what's going on!! So, for the sake of our congregation (and their sanity), please keep the whole process in prayers. It's beginning to feel real though as Ken went to the doctor for vaccinations against every kind of scary disease possible! He's got quite the sore arm now (probably from that and the kick of the gun on Saturday morning too!)
