Not much happened on Saturday. We went to the Library and got a couple movies. one wouldn't play at all and the other was boring. Tom fell asleep really early (poor guy)
Sunday we tried out our first new church. To quote Tom it was mercifully short. It started at 10:30 and was done at 11:30. this included a baby dedication, singing, children's lesson time, the sermon and an alter call. The sermon's main passage was very out of context and the other passages He used to support what he was saying didn't seem to match either. One good thing about the church was that they were very welcoming. People came over to us and introduced themselves and tried to make us feel welcome. I liked that.
Tom decided he wanted to make breakfast tacos so we wen to the store to get the ingredients that we were missing. One part of breakfast tacos is a big piece of beef roast. Tom usually cuts it into strips and grills them. We had everything ready to go and set up to grill but we couldn't find and lighter fluid so Tom sent me to the store to get some. When I got back as I was making my way to the back yard I heard voices and just assumed that it was the neighbors talking to themselves. When I go to the back yard to my surprise Tom was talking to one of our neighbors! He made a friend before I did! So not fair... Please keep us in prayer as we hopefully continue to develop this relationship. Lord willing as we get to know him better we will be able to witness to him. His name is Jake.
While we were cooking the meat we were being swarmed by flies. After a while Tom got fed up with the flies and went inside for some weapons! He declared war on the flies outside. he brought out some fly paper and tried to get them that way. After a while he realized that it might be too far away so he brought it a little closer. He then thought maybe if he held the plates close to the paper the flies might get caught on it. He caught a few that way but not enough. we finally finished grilling and brought everything inside. Unfortunately the flies came with us. Tom then proceeded to attack all flies within his reach with the fly swatter. It was a little funny but much appreciated. Altogether I think we killed 10 flies last night. There is one left but he will die soon (I hope)
We got a miniseries from the Library yesterday called "The Pacific". It is made by the same people who made "Band of Brothers". I have enjoyed it so far. I am looking forward to watching more with Tom.
LOL, I can picture Tom's face as war was declared.
