Put your patience cap on!




Today we visited some more families that have kids that we will be teaching in bible class. We're going to take Paul, a teacher here to the airport tonight, to go back to South Carolina. The airport is such a social thing here in Samoa since flights are only on Thursdays and Sundays, so it should be fun. Last night we had the milk from the coconut, I did not enjoy it at all and neither did Marci. Not much is going on today here, but we're watching the playoff game right now and it's in the middle of the afternoon. That's kind of crazy since we're used to watching basketball games in the evening. Well here's a few pictures to look at. One is of Marci and I at sliding rock, which is a place where a lot of deaths have happened from ships getting caught and sinking. The graves are right along the edge of sliding rock. (Don't worry mom, we didn't even get close to the water) The other pictures are one afternoon when Marci and I were waiting on supper, so we were trying to climb the coconut trees. We ordered our tickets to Apia in Western Samoa today. David told us to "put our patience cap on" before we went in line because it usually takes a long time. And yes, I love the new phrase, so you'll probably be hearing me say it when we return. Well, hope everyone is doing well.

Well I have heard of "Put your thinking caps on", but never your patience cap. I like it, but best of all was that you didn't appear to go up as high on the coconut trees as you did on the billboard a few weeks ago!
Love,
Mom

I have read all your stories and looked at all your pictures. The sliding rock video on Kate's looked a little to "LANEish" for me--he would be sliding down headfirst. Keep working for the Lord in all you do there. He will bless it.
Love and prayers,
Jan
