weekend update

friday night pam and i went to see beauty shop. it was funny, cute, and at times, predictable. and, that djimon hounsou is attractive! we went to eat at applebee's afterwards and saw lots of asians in large groups. it reminded us of post youth group hang outs. and it made us feel a little old, comparatively speaking. plus, it was only like 11pm and i was about to fall asleep at the table.

saturday night pam, shiv, and i went to the JEMS spring concert. it was nice to see people that i haven't seen in awhile, AACFers, kids from warm beach, college friends, etc. good music and good times.

on sunday we had a guest speaker from the alaskan bush come and share about his ministry to the native peoples of alaska. it was really great to hear about his experiences and it was a good reminder for us to be grateful for what we have. we've been looking for a pastor for quite some time, and every now and again, people make it seem like it's the end of the world because we're without a pastor. it was some nice perspective from pastor nathan as he shared about their need for a structurally safe church building with running water and plumbing/sewage. he was a cool guy, with a fun sarcasm, feeling our pain about not having a pastor. haha.

after church i went to owen chan's 1st birthday party! it was lots of fun!
