"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves." -Helen Keller

"Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." -Martin Luther King, Jr

Joyful

As most of you know this last sunday was Super Bowl Sunday. I never even imagined that I would be able to watch the game from Honduras of all places. Early that afternoon I was invited to the "other house," were the rest of the missionaries live, to watch the game online. This is risky business with the internet we sometimes have here. We decided to give it a try anyways. We had everything ready. We ordered pizza, got a nice sound system hooked up, and were ready to watch the game.







Glitch #1 one happened at the first commercial showing. We realized that we couldn't see any of the marvelous commercials! We decided that we could deal with it and continued watching.
Glitch #2 happened when the live stream stopped loading at the end of the first quarter. We managed to get it going again and persisted in our attempts to watch the game.
Glitch #3 sent us all into a tizzy! The site we were using realized that we were not located in the good ol' USA and promptly decided to tell us that we did not have access to view the site we were on. We searched and searched but found no other location to watch online. With hopes dashed we were coming to terms with the fact that we might just have to eat our pizza and then go home. Amazingly, Bianca had an epiphany (I always love it when I can use that word). We phoned one of our neighbors, who has a tv, and inquired if they were able to get the Super Bowl. I would explain our excitement to you but maybe it's best if you were to just see it for yourself.

We had a wonderful relaxing evening. This week is exam week for the school so all the kids are in exams and we don't have to do any teaching. There is so much joy around!
