"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

September 29th - October 6th

 Another good use for toilet paper rolls:-)

 Yup....we actually went to Jusco wearing this do!

 Making pumpkin pie...so yummy! 

 Having a Breaking Bad finale party with friends from Lai Yui!

 Visiting a friend who just had a baby...doesn't she look amazing? Her little girls are just adorable!

This has been another great week!  But we have a lot of exciting things coming up and we will need some prayer.  I will be subbing all week and as a result Rachel will be starting Kindergarten!! It will be fun to have all of us in the same school and we are looking forward to this adventure:-) 

Lots of love,

Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

 Dress up at the Heritage Museum

Kylie, Rachel and I were very happy to have a long weekend.  Thursday was the start of the Mid Autumn Festival....one of my favorite Chinese holidays!  Rachel really enjoyed running around the parks with lanterns and glow sticks.  We are now getting ready for a Super Typhoon to hit Hong Kong. They predict it will be a big one and so we have stocked up our cupboards and fridge with yummy food.  Please pray that everyone stays safe as it looks to be heading right for us! 

Love, 

Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

My 32nd Birthday!

Celebrating the Passover at Sunday School!

 First Basketball game of the year! 

 We also celebrated my birthday at church.  The kids liked eating the cake:-)

 Sunday School Family picture....we talked about how we are part of God's family. Today we had a small group!!

 Kylie's team played 2 basketball games this week. They won both!!

 Friend gathering at the Heritage Museum!

This has been a fun week for Kylie, Rachel and I.  It was extra special for me because I am celebrating my birthday today.  Kylie made me breakfast, I taught a fun lesson at Sunday School, I had a Sparkle meeting and Kylie and I plan to watch a movie and eat junk food this evening. It is also a special week because Kylie bought me a trip to Macau (for my birthday) in October to stay at a very nice hotel. I am really looking forward to it.   What a great birthday!!

Love, 

Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

Matthew 7:7

Lots of parties!

 Rider party:-)

 Baby Shower:-)

Greeting team at church on Sunday:-)

This has been a good week for us.  We paid off our students loans!! Kylie and I are so very thrilled about this, of course, and even went out for a celebratory supper on Saturday night.  One of my friends is having a baby this month and the 'Sparkle Team' decided to throw her a party.  I love the cupcake idea that I got online! Kylie figures that it is women's humour:-)

And finally, this week marked our first greeting experience at church.  We greeted with a bunch of other wonderful families and had a great time.  The Vine started a family greeting Sunday where the kids help serve.  It took Rachel a bit to get into welcoming everyone.....but she loved passing out the offering baskets:-)

Have a great week!

Love, 

Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

Sparkle Kickoff and Sunday School!

 We had 21 families come this week to Sparkle.  It was a busy morning!

 Love the parachute!

 Playing the tambourines with her leg.  We have a talented little girl!

 Eating sausage buns that Rachel and I made with her Sparkle friends!

Kylie's Sunday school class this week!

For the next couple of months (at least) I will only be posting about 1 or 2 special events for the week. 

This week marked the start of our first Sparkle for the year.  We had a great turnout and we loved being able to spend some time with our Sparkle friends.  It was a busy morning and all of the leaders felt a bit overwhelmed:-) But we have 3 new full time leaders joining our team and that is VERY exciting for us!! 

Kylie and I spent a bit of time this week preparing for Sunday school.  Kylie taught the Messengers group (ages 7-9) and I taught Bubbles (ages 3-5)

Kylie made masks in his class and the kids had a great time designing them.  He was talking about how God can use anyone to rescue people...like Moses.  He has really enjoyed getting involved!

Have a great week!

Lots of love, 

Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
