Worship night with the Iris kids

Last night we went to have a worship time with the kids.  It was so great!  Nelson, our Nepali brother, led them in some worship songs with dancing and lots of drumming, as most of the kids wanted a turn on the hand drum.  They started to spontaneously share some testimonies and one girl shared how when she was on the school bus that morning she realized that she forgotten to full up her pen with ink before she went to school.  So, she prayed and asked God to help her and when she got to school she started writing with her pen and there was ink in it and it lasted all day!  The teachers here are really strict and so she was worried that she would get in trouble, but Jesus had something else in mind!  Hallelujah!

After some songs the kids all went into a time of spontaneous prayer and were intensely praying for each other.  At the end of this precious time one of the older boys said that while we were praying God gave him a song to sing.  He stood up right away and sang a beautiful song about how there is darkness in the world, but that God has provided a huge light for us and how for those that are feeling sick or in pain that there's healing in Jesus.  It was so beautiful.   I told him afterwards that Jesus was going to give him more songs, he just nodded his head, Nepali style, and had a big grin on his face, what a precious boy!

I love the kids at the Iris home so much, it's so great living just down the street from them.  Speaking of home, I want to get Kyle to take some shots of our house and neighborhood to show you all. Oh and some of the kids home too.  Kyle's on outreach now, but we'll do this soon.  Stay tuned.....

Baby!

Hey so I just realized that we failed to post on our blog that we're pregnant!  Yup I'm 21 weeks today and the due date is September 23rd.   We're super excited!  What's also exciting is that we're going to go back to Canada to have the baby!  Yup, so all you folks in the Toronto area that want to see us please drop us a line via e-mail and we'll try to arrange a time to hook up with you.  We'll only be in that area for a couple weeks and then we'll mostly be hanging out at my parents place as that's where our midwife will be.  Visit's to my parents place are also welcome :)

We'll be back in Canada from about the 20th of July until the last week or so of November.  We don't have any flights booked yet, put those are the dates we hope to be there.  My sister leaves for about a year to go and work with a ministry in the States on July 29th so we're going to go back a little earlier then we originally planned so we can spend some time with her before she leaves.

The kids at the Iris Nepal home are so excited, they're always asking me, "Annie Auntie how's your baby?"  Or, "how big is your baby now?" It's so darling.  We'll have to skype them while we're in Canada, I'm going to miss them like crazy!

Yay for babies!
Annie
