Beautiful Weather

The weather was beautiful today! I walked the kids across the street to ride their bikes. Nadine got her bike last year but this is the first time she got to ride it this year. She was very excited! Every time she'd finally get going, she'd put the brakes on and have to figure out how to do it all over again. Rowan finally at one point got sick of her saying "come give me a push start," so he went over and gave her a push start and forgot to stop pushing. Together they tipped Nadine right onto the ground. She got a little scrap on her hand but all was well. She got back up and started over again.

Rowan took over his tricycle, which we discovered he can ride very well. He can peddle great - forwards and backwards - he just has no clue how to steer the thing. So more often than not he found himself going in little circles. By the end of our time he was just carrying his bike around instead of riding it.

Jourdyn rode for a bit, but her bike is too small for her now. So after a while, she just sat down and read her book, while the little ones rode their time away!

My class is going pretty well. It is all about global missions and the biblical mandate to carry the gospel to all the peoples of the earth. This week we read a lot of history of missions in the Protestant church. It was really neat to see all of these ordinary people who had faith that could move mountains and cross borders to change not just their immediate world but God's world!
