March Madness

 BACK TO SRI LANKA AND A FEW DAYS IN NEGOMBO 

When we arrived to the airport back in Sri Lanka we met up with Robert McDaniel, our friend from the High Desert and also STN's International Director now. We awaited for another friend, Chris Rehrer, and Pontus who were flying in within the next day. Both boys came out for a visit and we were excited to travel back to A-Bay with them and have 10 days together. Chris and Robert are both my childhood friends and also work with STN.

 BACK HOME TO THE BAY 

We spent a lot of time together as STN staff and friends. One thing the men all did together was spearfishing, three times. Babu joined them each time and they did an incredible job. They came back with so much fish, that by the end of 3 days, they gave all of the earnings to Babu- $400 US. 

 Thanks to these guys, we were able to feed 40 people at family night with a yummy fish barbecue.

TWO ARTISTS THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE

Cody and I were so blessed to have another artist here to help Cody on a project at the Muslim school that I teach at. My really good friend Kavitha and her husband Ishad are the principals of this school and wow how it blessed my "oikos" to have these guys serve selflessly. 

They did a great job!!!

 

 Kavitha and I decided to go to her house and make a nice rice and curry lunch for the hard working guys. We had fun cooking together :)

 We all enjoyed the delicious lunch together at Kavitha's house

SUNDAY NIGHT WORSHIP AT OUR HOUSE 

It was so nice to have Chris here to lead worship together with me and Cody on jimbay. It was just like old times! We enjoyed a sermon from Waxer (www.onelove.org) together and prayed for each other. Such a great night! 

 In the midst of Waxer's sermon, Cody spotted this spider in our house and it became a group effort to hold flashlights, hold chairs and finally Cody killed it. Yay! Thank you honey! 

GUYS ROAD TRIP TO ELLA

Robert and Chris had been amping to rent motor bikes/scooters and taking a drive up the mountain to Ella. The boys all had their own bikes and were off on their adventure. They left in the morning, had tea and lunch in Ella with a little relaxing, and back on their bikes for a few hours drive back to A-Bay in the evening. They really enjoyed their "guys time."

DINNER AT JOHNSON AND LATHIKA'S

One evening, Johnson and Lathi invited us all over for a yummy fried rice dinner and used some of the fish from the boys catch that day. It was a great night fellowshipping together.

LAST BREAKFAST AND GOOD-BYES

We had such a nice time with our friends and they were such a breath of fresh air! So blessed!

BLESSINGS IN A BOX

 After some rough things this month, it was sure a blessing to have our friends out and also to have two packages sent out with some fun goodies! Thank you!
