Dependency and Wonder
I want to be like Shinichi Suzuki who wrote, "I am mentally preparing myself for the 5 year old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and up to their sense of wonder and awe."
God, I want to live in dependency and wonder...this brings such a great adventure with You.
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your comments on the website & email. Even though we don't reply to them I want you to know that we read every one of them & we are refreshed in our spirits knowing you are thinking of us & praying for our family.
Jeff went on outreach this weekend. He spent two nights in a village about 5 hours from the Iris base. Two hours were spent on a dirt road far into the bush where they camped with other students and national pastors. They went from hut to hut sharing the good news that God became a human being and knows how they think and feel, that He saves us from the consequences of sin; bringing healing to our spirit, soul, and body. They saw many touched by the love of God and coming to faith in Jesus. Some were healed physically, and one boy in particular was healed of deafness.
We have been so encouraged being with all the students who are attending the Holy Given school. We have students from all different ages (18 yrs - 72 yrs old!). We have families here (the largest is a family of 7 and they're a barrel of fun to be with), married couples without children and many singles.
We were having lunch with a group of the students and one of them commented that "You shouldn't go to Africa unless you want to be changed." We heartily agree! The students made huge sacrifices to be here. We love watching their hearts being transformed through attending this school. God is enlarging their hearts (as well as ours). No text book can take the place of what folks are learning through this school experience of living amongst the poor.
We are enjoying our sweet, humble, thatched roof home. It's very beautiful in it's simplicity. It has a great "feel" to it and folks love "hanging out" here. One of the main reasons we bought it was to offer hospitality and we're delighted how this home is being used to offer comfort, rest & joy to many! We've already had several full time missionaries come on different days to spend the weekend with us. We've had group gatherings from anywhere between 4 to 30 people at a time. One missionary asked if they could use our home for a night of worship under the stars. We have a large area of grass (a luxury in Pemba) and they asked Jeff to play his guitar & lead in worship while about 25 folks brought towels or capulana to lie on the grass enjoying God's presence along with the moon and the stars. We've had many memorable gatherings in our home. It's an honor & privilege to offer hospitality to these amazing missionaries who live most of the time without running water.
Last week some of our neighbors came over for a visit and I was telling them of my frustration of not finding a single can opener anywhere in Pemba even though they sell canned goods. A missionary (thank you Betty!) went to Nampula & bought me one & I was teary eyed when it was in my hands. You don't take things for granted here...especially if you have running water. Our neighbors then told us that just 15 years ago you couldn't even buy toilet paper here in Pemba!...so I guess I shouldn't complain about no can opener's here. :)
Jeff & I have taken up a "blood sport!" When I wake up & have our quiet time in the morning, I've got my Bible in my lap, a cup of tea in one hand and a can of insect spray in the other! We get great satisfaction killing mosquitoes. I got Malaria last year so I especially like when I spray the insect spray & they fall dead to the ground right before my very eyes. I wish I had a photo to show you "my thrill of the kill!" :) I have many bed bug bites (over 50)...I've stopped counting how many, but I do count it a blessing that they don't care to bite my face. The bugs have thankfully stopped biting too.
I hope to get some photo's on the website soon. I haven't taken any photo's yet, but I especially want to send you one of our "neighbor's" that I adore. Her name is "Bobolina" - a baboon. She greets me every morning as I pass her before my run on the beach. When I come back from my run she likes to "groom" me. I sit down next to her and with her hands she dusts all the sand off of me and looks for any dirt or bugs in my hair and gently pulls it out. The greatest thing Bobolina does is that many times when I shave my legs I miss some of the long hairs and she pulls them out! She doesn't bite me, but carefully pulls them out with her teeth! Now, here I am in the midst of great poverty along with a great revival and why in the world would I be sharing about a baboon?! Why? Because God my Father is so fascinating. When I'm sitting down next to Bobolina I have a sense of awe & amazement about God. What kind of God would make an animal like this? What a sense of humor He has! Please God, don't let me lose the capacity to pause & wonder at your great glory. Don't let me get too busy or too serious so that I miss out on enjoying all the beauty of Your wonderful world.
I want to be like Shinichi Suzuki who wrote, "I am mentally preparing myself for the 5 year old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and up to their sense of wonder and awe." God, I want to live in dependency and wonder...this brings such a great adventure with You.
With much love,
Janet and Jeff
(PS) I promise those of you who visit that I will introduce you to my friend, Bobolina.

Dear Janet and Jeff,
I'm beginning to look forward to each new update from your website! Just yesterday, I was wondering when I would be able to hear from you again. I loved your story about Bobolina:) What a far cry from California.
I bet you and Jeff have the best looking hut in the neighborhood! I can't wait to see a picture of your new home.
So good to hear how God is surprising you daily with His provision and beauty.
Love you muchly,
Kathy and Mike Dunn

Your wow power leveling adventure in Iysa begins in the city of wow powerleveling Roumen. This quaint town will be your home base until around powerleveling level 20. Begin your adventure by talking to Elemental Helper Remi and get your first power leveling quest! She will give you a few instructions and then send you to Healer Julia. To locate NPCs (non-player characters) on the map, press the M button. Healer Julia is just up the wow power level steps to the right.
Once you talk with Julia wow powerlevel, she will tell you all about HP (health points - red) and SP (spirit points - blue) stones. These are used to refill your wow powerleveling health and spirit when they get low wow power leveling. You receive a few free stones from Julia when you start your adventure in Isya and can always buy more wow power leveln from her. Julia will also give you your first wow powerleveln quest – a monster hunt to kill Slimes and Mushrooms. They can be found in the forest at the edge of fiesta online town.
TIP
Before you battle fiesta online, check out your character stats. Hit “C” or click the Character icon in the bottom right corner of the fiesta online gold screen. You will see the following character attributes:
STR (strength) – helps melee attacks and defense last chaos
DEX (dexterity) – increases ranged damage, chance to dodge attacks, and lastchaos attack speed
END (endurance) – increases hit points
INT (intelligence) – increases magic damage and last chaos gold resistance
SPR (spirit) – increases spirit points, chance to critical hit and spell cooldown
Your character begins the game with one free stat point and will receive an additional stat point for every increase in lastchaos gold level.
Equip your last chaos gold weapon and get ready to help save Isya! Hit the “I” key or click the Inventory icon in the lower right portion of the lastchaos gold screen. Your weapon will be in your inventory; right-click to equip fly for fun. To attack a flyff penya monster, double click on it. Mages start with an additional skill – the magic missile spell in their dofus skill bar. Select a monster and right-click on a spell or skill to use dofus kamas. Slain monsters often will drop items, so be sure to pick them up! Some are valuable and you can sell them to other players or NPCs.
If you get low dofus on life, use an HP stone by hitting the “Q” key or an SP stone by hitting “E”. You can also assign dofus kamas to your quick bar skills by opening your skills window, clicking on dragging them to the quick bar of your choice.
TIP
When not fighting flyff, rest in your mini house to regain health and spirit points! Hit the “H” key or click on the house icon in the bottom right corner of the game window to bring up the Mini House menu. Click the
“Rest [HOME]” button to enter your flyff penya house. If your house does not appear, move to a less crowded area or away from NPCs and try again. Press “H” again to exit your mini house.
TIP
Keep all the NosTale gold Summoned Beast Leather you find! These are valuable early in the game and can be sold to other players. A lot of the NosTale gold you will find while fighting enemies can also be used for crafting NosTale items later in the game. You can choose up to two crafting professions. Keep the items you find that relate to your chosen crafting professions, and sell the rest to make money. For instance, keep the ones related to potions and scrolls, but sell the ones relating to stones.
