A wonderful weekend with our boys

Last night the boys came up and we watched a movie together. Actually, it was in french so I stuck around a little while then went to finish up my lesson plans for Junior church. Nixon fell asleep during the movie. We want to make sure and talk about the movies we watch this year and make them a lesson to learn from. We compared the vengeance taken in last nights movie to David not wanting to take Saul's life. It was good.
This afternoon we waited for the exterminator to come and then after borrowing a car, we went to the beach. I took my Bible and a book I've been trying to finish. I ended up watching the game. It was a really good game. None of the players expected Jackie to do anything so when it seemed they were on their way, Jackie would swipe the ball. Jocelyn was a great goalie, he got so sandy trying to give his all. Mackenson would steal the ball but then would seem to lose control as he ran with the ball. He finally made 2+goals though. Jn Robert is a very good soccer player. Jn Robert did stay and work for Joy In Hope all summer though. He has been practicing his soccer skills, getting up at 5am and joining a rough bunch of soccer players on the other side of town. He is very competitive. Elira found every opportunity to jump in the water and splash around. Wisky was a little sluggish but made his share of goals. He has a lot of fun playing, laughs all the way through.

My highlights are as follows:
-The boys making goals.
-Me yelling bon travay! (i was such a dork!)
-a guy wearing boxers who joined the game. His "peppy" kept escaping the
whole time.
-A big, (tiny) bikini wearing man jogging on the beach
-My chocolate kiss making goals, he made ALOT OF THEM:)
-the boys yelling out the score to me each time someone made a goal.
- their beaming faces when I would yell out their name, followed by "good job".

After we cleaned up the car, gave it back, and we cleaned up ourselves up, we had a devotion time. I then made popcorn seasoned with cheddar cheese flavoring, we sipped on sodas and watched another movie together.
(Thank you to John for teaching me to make popcorn and thank you Christa for the cheddar cheese flavouring!)
With a few glitches in between, we have had a great day with our boys, actually a wonderful weekend with our boys. I sometimes forget that we are pouring into these boy's lives and that it is such a privilege. It is God's will that we show them more about Him. I pray that we would do it to the best of His ability. Please pray for Nixon and I to be close to the Lord in order to properly make Him shine in us and then the boys. Please pray for the boy's, for their hearts to be captivated by the Lord.
