Busy, busy, busy

Well, I haven't been very good at blogging... honestly we've been too busy! We moved into our new house at the beginning of October (yeah!). We started discipling right away, and we are involved with ministry every day of the week, with the exception of Sundays. Even then, Bill is helping run the sound and I am helping teach Sunday School occationally at the English speaking church we attend here. We also go to Moshono Christian Church several times a month just to encourage them there.
So, ministry has really taken off here.

Also, we started homeschooling, which is what takes up the majority of my time each day. We start at 8:30am, and finish around 1 or 1:30pm. It takes me around an hour or two each afternoon to prepare the next's days' lesson as well. I haven't hired a nanny yet, and probably won't after all. I hold Jonathan while I teach, or put him in the Pack 'n' Play. I alternate teaching Katrina and Heather, and the other one works alone while I teach the other.
It's been a learning process, but we seem to be getting the hang of it. Heather asks each day, "Is there anything else for me to do?!" She finishes way before Katrina and feels left out!! This girl is asking for more homework. Hmmm... On the other hand, Katrina has mentioned that she wishes she was still in preschool so she didn't have to much work to do! :-]

Jonathan is now 7 months old and is crawling, so we are keeping busy watching him! He is such a happy and content baby

Bill's parents are coming in 39 days (Dec 7th) for a visit. They are coming to help out while I go back to the States with Jonathan. I'm trying to avoid thinking about the trip, because I don't want to leave my family and travel alone!
I'll try to be better about writing...
