Josh the evangelist - starting early!
Josh and Aivis were in the countryside this week visiting Aivis' mum. Beta also went with them.
Aivis noticed an interesting evangelistic technique that Josh has got into. As I mentioned on the last entry, Josh is into grace before meals... So, while he was in the countryside, he was also insistant that grace should be said. Aivis' mum and Beta are not accustomed to this tradition, but they were nicely pressurised to conform! Beta tried to avoid it, but Josh would stop the prayer - seeing that Beta was not joining in, say Beta, Beta and show his praying hands and then when she was ready the prayer could continue! Not sure what Mudite and Beta made of it - but God was invading their space in the form of Josh!

Sarah - it feels like forever since I've checked your blog and now I discover your son already has a blog page as well. Love it. Love all the photos, too. Am jealous of the potty progress - my stubborn almost-3 yr. old can but WONT! It was so good to log on tonight and read all the news -even if I am up way too late and will pay for it tomorrow (and I'm supposed to take Bryce to the Indiana State Fair tomorrow afternoon with two of his friends - perhaps I'll find a comfy bench and nap - ha!) Keep up both blogs - so much fun to read. - Wendy

Funny thing happened another time around the table. My mum was tired after some work she did outside and she was sitting by the table with her hands together as if she would pray and as Josh observed this 'holy pose' he also put his hands together to join the prayer. I laughed but my mum told me off, saying you should not laugh about him. It was really funny.
