Last week James was sick for about 4 days. It was pretty rough as neither of us got much sleep. He is better now. Byron and I went to the dentist yesterday. That was an experience. I got a filling and fixed a chipped tooth. He did a wonderful job. Byron got two extractions. The dentist said his teeth were good, no cavities but too white. The enamel is thinning due to drinking soda and eating acidic fruits. Since that visit we have a soda ban in effect. We rarely drink the stuff but Byron likes to go to the market and buy himself a soda for fun. He is also collecting Coca Cola wrappers in various languages.
James preached last Sunday. Csaba was out of town so he was on his own with Eva translating. I would have been so nervous! He, as always preached gracefully and looked great in the pulpit. After church in our village he preached in the next village. I met a retired minister and his wife. I was immediately drawn to this beautiful, distinguished older couple. I went with James to the church. I was familiar with the way things worked in our church but not this one. I almost went to the wrong pew had it not been for the retired minister’s wife showing me where I am supposed to sit. She sat with me and showed me which songs were sung. It was nice.
The biggest event this week was Luna completing her chapter book. It has been a struggle getting her to read it. We have been reading it since London in September. James worked with her and got her into a routine. He sat with her and helped her get to the point of really wanting to read. Once she saw that she had 2 chapters left, she would beg James to sit with her while she read. Hooray! She was so motivated. She started on her next book and wants me to order the rest of the series of her first book. A Christmas present that will be arriving soon!
