Wow am I a bad blogger or what?! That last post was almost a full year ago. To briefly catch you up to date on the Will Family in Singapore enjoy the photo updates. They show our Christmas, Grandma Walter's visit around Chinese New Year in February, and our trip to Cape Town South Africa in May.

The missing months were not all that exciting as we didn't travel much. I continue to visit the Children's Home (AnaKawan) each month and am launching a brand new ESL (English as a Second Language) program there. If you are interested in sponsoring a child please let me know (tanyalwill2@gmail.com).

I started a ministry for preteen girls -- writing the "curriculum" and leading an 8 week class. The group wants to continue so we will start up again soon. The highlight for me was seeing God's faithfulness in leading me down this path. I have said it was like God told me to complete a puzzle but gave me only one piece at a time AND I had no idea what the final picture looked like. As I said, He was faithful and being able to experience this was awesome. We ended with a Mother/Daughter Tea and I hope to post some photos from this. Hannah and a dear friend did all of the food and decorations.

Speaking of Hannah, I forgot to say that I started homeschooling! When asked how this past semester went I simply reply, "I am looking forward to seeing how much better God will lead me this semester". Hehe. Truthfully, the challenge is not in the homeschooling but in protecting my time and keeping firm boundaries. Wyatt and Hannah will both be homeschooling this next year while Lena and EvaLynn head off to SAS.

We also spent a very quick weekend in Darwin Australia and enjoyed a horse ride with roos hopping all around and long walks through the bush. In July we spent a few days with Steve in Bandung (south of Indonesia) where we got up close and personal with a steaming active volcanoe. Pretty stinky I must say. I will try to post photos from both trips.

My blog is beginning to resemble my mom journal and the kids' baby books -- not very complete. Well at least it should give you a glimpse into our life here, which was my goal to begin with. Well back to the photo uploads! T
