Let me introduce us. This photo was taken just a week or so ago at English Worship in the Park. We try to get together with other English speakers once a month to praise the Father in our native tongue, to hear from His word, and to, of course, have snacks and play. Pictured here with us is a couple who runs the seminary here just outside of the city.
Here we go, left to right...
The Acton family consists of : David is holding onto his youngest daughter, Olivia. Next to Olivia is Francesca who has her hand on her mother's back, Chanelle, who is leaning down and holding her son, Christopher's, hand. Also holding onto Christopher is Isabella. They have been here close to 5 years. David is the "fearless leader" for folks in Spain and Portugal.
Chris and Beth are the couple from the seminary who came to worship with us.
Standing in the back middle is Martha. She is here on loan from Germany. She originally came to work with university students for just one year, but has decided to stay with us for a while longer. Woohoo!
Next we have the Blacksten crew. Shaphan is wearing the red t-shirt; his mom, Shelley, is in pink. Dad, Sean, is sticking up behind her while Shalyn is looking oh so fabulous in the cute little cap. Sean and Shelley are our team leaders.
Beside the Blackstens are all "the single ladies". Megan and Andrea are in the back trying to be seen. They are our fall interns. They arrived in September and will be with us until just before Christmas.
Darby is in purple. She is a Journey-chick who has been here nearly 2 years. She was able to extend her term just a bit so that she can finish out this semester at the local high schools where she teaches English.
And finally, that's me, Christy, on the end. I just got here 6 months ago (this week!). No one is really sure what my job is.... I think I am might just be comic relief. And I am now the official blogger.
Okay, that's us. I hope you've memorized the names. There will be a test.
