hi folks. just wanted to throw out a quick update. Little Alexei was finally baptized on sunday. it had gotten cancelled twice due to sickness and something else that i cannot remember. but he is baptized now so feel free to rejoice with us and be praying for him. he is spending thenight at our house on saturday nights to read the bible together and pray. and then we have been going to a new church in the morning so you can pray for him that he would have understanding as he reads the bible and that he would be able to recognize God's voice as He speaks to him.

our clubs are going well. we have less people than i think we expected, or at least i can say than i expected. but that is just fine. i know whoever we have in the greenhouse is exactly who God has led here. tomorrow we have an english club and then cooking club going on. we'll be cooking morrocan and some italian food. so if anyone wants to stop by, feel free. the food goes quick though so you should come on time. it starts at 3:30!

i just started learing how to play the commus, the national instrument(it looks kinda like a guitar), this week. i will put some pics up this week if i have time of me playing. it's pretty different from the guitar so it's kinda challenging but the students all think it's cool that i am playing. people like it when you they see you take an interest in things that are familiar to them. so it makes me even happier to be playing cause i know it makes the students happy. although honestly today i got kinda frustrated with it. i may have even pounded my fist on the table. alright, i suppose that's it for today...
