Wednesday, February 1 (Dd)

     Dance invitation: Every year our school holds a Valentine Ball which is compulsory for Grade 8's to attend.  Which means Teresa has to go.  No one is required to go in couples, but yesterday she was asked to the dance by Brandon, a fellow eighth grader.  Teresa being Teresa, her answer was "ummmm, sure?".  My little sister is part of a couple! Ok... just for a night... but still!  They grow up so fast.... :)
     David: A few words from Dad: "It is so good to be back home after my 2 week trip to Zambia. I had a great trip working with the World Vision Zambia team in Kitwe (an area in northern Zambia also known as the Copperbelt because of the copper mines) as well as in the capital city of Lusaka. My work continues to go very well and I am learning a great deal about how our work here in Africa actually comes together in the communities we are serving. It was great to hear many inspiring stories this past week of lives being touched and yet there is so much additional need as well. We continue on day by day doing the best we can and trusting in the Lord to provide for our team and the people we are working with. I pray all is well with all our friends and family around the world. Thanks for supporting us in prayer from so many places. Blessings to all!"
     Defenses:  We had a not-so-nice wake up call at midnight last night to our security alarms going off.  The alarms did their job and scared the intruder off, but, needless to say, no one slept as well as they could have.  We still have security improvements needed to be made upon the property (curtains in the windows, razor wire on the back fence) and hopefully the breach in defenses will encourage some more rapid changes.  Thank God the intruder left before he could do any harm!
