Hello everyone! I hope that you are all doing well! Things have been crazy the past few weeks. Many people have been sick, and we have been trying hard to prevent that for us. In the past couple of weeks Matt's team made it to playoffs. They played the best of 3 games. They lost their first game, which took them 5 and a half hours away on Saturday to their second game. Matt went into the game feeling a bit sad. If they were to loose it would be their last game of the season. They ended up loosing 5-1. Matt was player of the game and said he thought that he played well. He came home a little sad. He was saying that you never know what could happen and that it could be his last game here. At first he was really sad, and perhaps still is, but the team will still have practices and the team he coaches still has some games left.
I feel like now, when there is more time for us to do things.. that we can do the things that God is calling us to do. We can start our Bible study, we can work in the school more, we can have people to our house.. and the list goes on. We just want God to do mighty things in and through us in this last month that we have here. IT IS CRAZY.. but we only have one month left in this part of our time here. We leave here March 25th. Please pray for God to really ignite a fire in us, and pray for us to be light.
We will be in the local jr. high school this week as they have a dodge ball tournament! We taught the kids last year to play dodgeball.. and they fell in love with the game. It will be a lot of fun to be able to go and help out! Our Swedish classes have been put on hold as our teacher was sick, but we are looking forward to going back to them this week! The weather is starting to look really nice here, after we had a huge snowfall this weekend. The sun is out and I can feel spring comming! This place is just so amazing, and i really wish all of you could see it. I can't help but wake up each day, look outside and thank God for what He created. It is amazing to look at the sea, and get lost in thoughts and prayers.
We miss you all.. please continue to pray for us. I promise to keep this up better in the next weeks we have here. We love you!
God bless,
Jess and Matt
