Weekend Fun

Friday night we hosted a BBQ Bible Study at our place. Several couples from church came over and we showed them an American BBQ. Adam grilled burgers and chicken and everyone pitched in with other dishes. We had a great time and are meeting some amazing people!
After the BBQ, we moved inside and introduced them to the Nintendo Wii. We all had a blast:)

Saturday, we went over to Sentosa again (small island directly across the harbor from Singapore and part of the country of Singapore). We walked along the beach, rode a ski lift up and rode the luge down the big hill. We also went up in the huge Merlion.

Keep Texas (and our home!) and Louisiana in your prayers as Hurricane Ike finishes its destruction on the area. We spoke with Mallory, our renter, yesterday and she had packed up all the yard furniture and headed north for the weekend. I know millions are without power in Houston and the news has been saying that it could be weeks to 2 months before all power is restored. I haven't talked to any of my friends in Houston yet, but we're hoping things at the hospital are going as smoothly as possible considering the circumstances. I know many of them are going to be at work for days; pray for their well-being and the awesome job they do! (Miss you guys:)
We will be coming back to the US next week. Yay! We have had these plans for a few weeks, but it is good timing to be able to go back home and check on the house. Adam will be attending a class for work. It will be good to get a little taste of home...and stock up on some much-missed American items (hot wings and country music on the radio!!!!)!
