Communication...or lack thereof

If you ever move to a different country and don't know the language you will no doubt experience communication difficulties. Over the past year and half I can't tell you how many dates, times, places, etc. I have gotten wrong.

Since getting married I've learned just how important communication is. There are many times when disagreements occur because of a lack of communication, but miscommunication can also give you something to laugh about. Take what happened at lunch today at our house for example:

Setting: At 1:15 we have to leave to go to the doctor. I (MacKenzie) am sitting at the kitchen table finishing off some apple pie so I can go put on make-up before leaving.

Paul says “We've got to hurry”.
I reply, “I won’t get to put on my make-up. That’s a booger.”
I heard Paul say ,“You don’t need it.” To which I thought, "How nice of him to think I am beautiful without make-up."

Then he laughed. What??

He had heard,“That’s a booger,” as I stared down into my apple pie to which he replied “Don’t eat it.”

I like my version better.

Prayer Calendar

Our team is making a prayer calendar for Naples. It will have two specific prayer requests for Naples every month and there is also a photo to go with the requests.

Our hope for the calendar is people would know how to specifically pray for Naples and also that as people become more connected through prayer they would desire to volunteer in the city.

If you would like a calendar please let me know asap.

FYI

Everyone is somewhat on the mend. Lingering coughs and stuffy noses are all that are left, I think.
Praise that Cortney, Grace, and I still have not gotten sick.

Another box

We got yet another box yesterday! I love boxes. It's like Christmas every time you get one because you never know what's inside and sometimes you didn't even expect to get the box! I love boxes, but I love any kind of mail unless it is a bill. Letters are great...very personal. Cards are equally as great. But I digress...

My other grandmother (aka Granny) sent Lily some great stuff. Have you ever seen onesies that cute?? I think not. There was a great little Christmas sleeper with matching hat that she will be wearing on Christmas Day and some wonderful little blankets. I'm told you can never have too many blankets. Lily says thank you to Granny for all the great clothes, blankets, and little doll.


P.S. Today I opened up a package of newborn diapers and I've decided THOSE are the cutest things I've ever seen, baby socks are second. But those teeny tiny diapers .... I about lost my mind over them. Can't wait to have a teeny tiny person to put in them.

SICKNESS!

It's going around. Some of the Worthy's are sick with a cough and fever. This morning Jason and Emily and Paul came down with a cough and fever, and I am developing a cough. So far Grace and Cortney are ok. Please be in prayer for our team!
