Tuesday we started Isaiah’s countdown calendar. This year’s theme is the game RISK (one of Isaiah’s favorite games). It’s Isaiah (green/blue beads) against the WORLD i.e. the rest of his siblings (pink/purple beads). Each day there is a challenge and the team that wins the challenge gets to remove two of the opposing team’s solders (beads). At the end of the game, whoever has the most beads on the board is the winner. The challenge for the day is always age appropriate to whichever sibling is on to go against Isaiah.

Last Saturday I spoke at a church ladies leaders’ event. There were about 42 ladies there from about 17 different churches, covering three different tribal groups. My theme statement was “Every work God has given you to do, you can do, because the Holy Spirit dwells with you. He will help you.” Anna helped me with two skits to illustrate different points in my talk. The entire thing was done in Jarai, as almost everyone understood Jarai.
