What fun we had with this Bible Labs activity!  As is very usual for us, we attached a GLOW tract to something and we delivered these gifts all over town.  Furthermore, it was a perfect day for it.  It was the coldest day of the season yet and the wind made it feel even colder!  Everyone we met was either surprised we would be giving something away or just thrilled with the thought of apple cider!  :) We were all so blessed, and even more so because God answered my prayer for a divine appointment!  We were in an Asian Restaurant and there was an older lady sitting in a chair waiting for her take-out to be ready.  When David gave her the cider pack she asked which church this was.  He told her we were Seventh-day Adventists and she immediately asked if there was a church in town.  He explained that there wasn't anymore, but that there was one close by in Centreville.  Come to find out, she has been watching Dwight Nelson for 6...

Our church members know that we homeschool and one of them, being a retired teacher, knows about the concept of Bible Labs.  He asked it we like doing Bible Labs projects and upon the answer quickly recruited us to help haul brush and limbs and logs from some property that is owned right beside the church by a widow.  He had cut some trees down and we all got the opportunity to help clean the trees away.  It was great exercise and a great outreach opportunity!

We discovered that October 1 was National Homemade Cookie Day so we decided to take advantage of it. We made some cookies and we shared them with all sorts of people in our new community. The power washer, the conference maintenance man, the garbage man, the mail lady, our realtor, and a few of our neighbors got cookies that day. It was a fun way to meet new people and it made them smile!
