Wycliffe Bible Translators Discovery Center is such a neat place. It was so neat and served to be a real encouragement to me. We stayed to hear a missionary from Wycliffe who shared about what he was doing and his part in the Great Commission. Well, for those of you who know our situation here at New Tribes, we have experienced a great deal of sickness since moving down. It can a be a real discouragement at times because sickness sometimes serves to take your eyes off of Christ and more onto your circumstances. Well, I think that had happened to me. When we heard the missionary from Wycliffe, though, he was an IT guy (just like Dave) and he was serving in the home office. It encouraged me to remember that we too are trying to do our part in the Great Commission and God has us here for a reason. He works ALL things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose, so we rejoice in where He has brought us.

The following day, we went to Josh and Sarah's Upwards game and then to the fair. It was a great day. Josh'a basketball team has really improved over these past few weeks. Last week they tied one of the best teams in his age division and this week they won! (More about that in the next blog.)
Josh (#31) is the defense pro!!
Sarah cheers her little heart out and encourages all the teams and the other cheerleaders!
At the fair, we got a surprise and Sarah won 3 BLUE RIBBONS and Josh won a ribbon for each thing he entered! Sarah won 1st place in Popsicle Creations, Velvet Pictures and Painted Ceramics. She did great! Josh got a 2nd place in Popsicle Stick creations and an honorable mention in his Painted Ceramics. They did so well! Yea for the fair!
