Love is in the air, or perhaps over the road!

Helen went to the park with the boys this afternoon and met our neighbours. Katherine and Josh are very good friends and so are Alex and Reuben. As they were playing Josh was naughty and pushed Reuben down the slide. Accordingly Mummy told him off! Katherine then asked her mummy for a pencil and paper, and drew Josh a heart. She ran over to give it too him, to which Josh responded, "What's that?"! "It's a heart," she said, and then they both went very shy! Ahh, young love.
Sadly our friends will probably have to go back to America in the New Year, but we can enjoy the antics the chidildren get up to together in the meantime! (Us adults don't get up to antics after all.)

Lot's of people

Between 80,000 and 100,000 people live within 1 mile of St. John's Wood Road Baptist Church! That's a lot of people. If 1 in a 1000 of them came to the church we would have a church of 80 to 100 people!
More than 50% of people in Westminster call themselves Christians, 20%ish Muslim, 5%ish Jew. But you don't find 40,000 people in Westminster's churches! Still it is a reminder that most people still believe in God to some extent.
Pray for us that we would have both wisdom and love to continue to reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that the Lord would be pleased to save more and more even through our ministry.

Thought for the day

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Made me smile - Chris! :-)

Whipsnade Visit

At the end of last week we visited Whipsnade wild animal park. We had a very good time. Joshua particularly enjoyed the elephants and the steam train. Reuben was particularly fond of running away! Here are the boys on an elephant ride at the end of the day (not that we put any money in it).

In The Beginning....

In the beginning Daddy created a blog. (Well not right at the beginning, but at the beginning of starting to write blogs!) However Daddy was a bit slow at updating the blog so it got deleted. Quite a long time after the beginning Daddy started a new blog with great intentions to update it regularly so people can be properly informed and kept up to date with the Elnathan News! However we all know about good intentions...!
