Keeping up with the Chiltons...

Some recent activities in our personal lives:

            Ever played the game Hungry, Hungry Hippo with children? We had an adventure looking for the local hungry hippo when we took a family canoe trip on a local river; he was spotted by our friends in kayaks the week previous to our trip. We enjoyed our day buy saw no hungry hippo. I suppose that's good because he is reported to be aggressive.

            In between lots of illnesses we had some fun playing games and watching old TV shows thanks to our home Internet connection that we acquired to communicate with Bradley. It sure was a cool summer here with mostly cloudy days and very little rain. We also enjoyed doing lots of yard work together. Daniel and Josiah especially enjoy trimming our tree branches with machetes!
            At RFIS, volleyball has become an important activity for us, in addition to the normal Running Club. Josiah and Daniel are both improving their skills on the court, and both are running to be in shape for climbing Mt. Cameroon in late February. Please pray for the extra money they need to enjoy that activity.
            Normally, the Drama performance is second semester and you get a report about that in late spring, but this year it's happening before Christmas. The play: Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The performers: Josiah Chilton, Daniel Chilton and about 12 other high school students.
            At our young school PRS we have a whole new staff! Praise God they arrived, and school is going smoothly. Pray that teachers, administrators and students would all thrive and God would be glorified throughout school.
