Something Unexpected

Hehe...shortly after I wrote the last entry, Adam and I found out that I am expecting. A little Rymon will be joining us in early February. It has changed our plans for certain, but we both are excited! A wonderful gift from God. I was told by a lady here at church that it's a boy...I guess we'll see in about 6 weeks!!

Many people wondered if we would have the baby here in America. Yes. Our plan is to remain in Pennsylvania till after the birth, and then begin traveling for support. I have to admit, when I first found out, I didn't like that it pushed getting back to Africa further down the road. But after more thought, this actually seems like one of the best things that could have happened. $30,000 isn't easy to raise. With God and this extra time, I know it can be done!

Polishing the Pulpit is just around the corner. Adam and I hope to attend! Like last year, Parker Memorial Library will have a booth set up. Adam had the great idea of putting together a book to show that we are capable of printing and binding the books that are translated. There will also be a new presentation (with Adam's voice :) He is far more talented than I. PML even has a new logo, which I just love.

Till next time!

The Rymons.

Reaching Out

Hello from Pa! We had another great clothing giveaway on November 7th. The congregation really stepped up and we had even more clothes to give out to the community this time. It was a good thing too, because a friend of a family who lost their home to a fire stopped by and gathered up 12-15 bags of clothes and food. That brought our total to 75 bags of clothing and food given out and 18 families aided. We also had a member bring a bunch of books she no longer needed. When I saw this table, all I could think was "I need these!" Even though they were mostly children's books, there was this desire to take them all home with me. I obviously have a problem, hehe. The helpers enjoyed a meal of sloppy joes and baked beans. We would have had a bigger turn out but one of the members needed help moving so 5 or 6 men spent all morning and some of the afternoon assisting them. All in all, it was a great day.

An Observation

An Observation Recently, Lindsey was hired by World Bible School to hand out lessons and see that they are graded. She thought that stopping by the Arusha Library she might be able to find a few English speaking people with whom she could conduct a bible study. The library is about 30 minutes from our house and in the middle of town. You can not see it, but it has a downstairs area where the children's section is located. (This picture was not taken by me) Lindsey asked that I accom...

Hi... This blog is meant to serve two purposes. A place for me to write and talk about my life in Africa and a place where those that support the Parker Memorial Library can read about how the library is progressing. I hope that in both purposes, the read is informative and enjoyable! I will be sure to post pictures and write at least once a week. Our plane ride to the States went very well. It was great to be able to celebrate with Todd and Lauren on their wedding day. My grandparent's farm was a great place to have it (minus the cow patties :)). I think my favorite part was helping direct the wedding. The library is on it's way to being established! This weekend I have been invited to show my presentation (which I will put on here in good time) to the Logan Martin congregation (in Pell City, AL) after services. There are still many things to do, but with God's help, all will be accomplished. ...
