Busy - Reasons for not blogging

Wow the last time we blogged was in October, a good month and a half of absence. Good thing we don't get paid for this or we probably have used up our vacation and sick time already.

The month of October and November was very busy for the whole family. We had an outreach in October and remodeled our kitchen in November. We also had the annual family Thanksgiving potluck with over 70 relatives in one house.

We had a fellowship outreach on October 17 with drama skit, testimony, and gospel message. Three people came to Christ and one re-commit so all the work we put into it beared some fruit. We had about forty new comers so hopefully we sowed the seeds in the hearts for future harvest. Paulina and I were responsible for the light and sound. This includes coming up with a powerpoint background for each scene, background sound effects and lighting to enhance mood along with Paulina singing three songs solo with another sister. It took us four weeks of intense preparation and iterations to get the details worked out, a lot of work for small details. This really helped us appreciate the enormous task it takes for sound and light professionals for movies and other productions.

Here is Paulina attentively waiting for the right time to play a car scene sound effect. She really enjoyed sitting behind a piano hidden from the audience.

Here is a picture with Danny and Conkyo using blinking LED flashlights for effects:

Here is a group picture of the cast involved in the outreach.

Two of Raymond's uncles had birthday banquets in October, one turned 61 and other 51.

Here is a collage of Raymond's family on his mother's side:

Mom has six other brothers and sisters, averaging five kids in each family.
