Random stuff we forgot

The problem with trying to play catchup with this is that invariably you always forget some stuff.There is no way to tell everything, that would take more time than we have each afternoon to writs these, and we have to leave some good stories to tell you all when we get back. As you may have picked up already, we have both been writing these, and so hopefully you get some different perspectives on things. This is Clint writing right now. Anyhew...I thought it was interesting on Sunday night during our church service led by Dr. Chambers (that's my professor from Sem. in Edmonton for any who don't know). It was in the evening at our usual time for devotions of 8:00 pm, and I was struck by the thought that we are 9 hours ahead of you back home, and so doing a little math left me with the thought that we were probably in church at the same time (at least in the 11:00 service in Leduc, and in Didsbury). Pretty cool eh? Apparrently I say eh alot and our American team gets quite a kick out of it. oh well, we are what we are.
The other thing I should mention is the misadventures of our good friend DR. Chambers. He has really had a rough go of things. The day we arrived, we got to the kibbutz only for him to discover that he had lost his passport. Let me tell you that this is one of the constant worries when travelling abroad. As of today(Wed) it has not been found by the airport people, and talks are underway as to what can be done. On the first day of the dig(Sun) we were cleaning out a lot of weeds and brush, and Dr. Chambers whacked his leg with a turea that he was using to chop with. He limped for the the rest of the day, and the next. Now if that wasn't enough, on that same night he was showing us the tremendous welt on his leg, when Joyce noticed that he had a tick burrowed into his leg. It took quite a bit of trouble, but we finally got it out. Poor guy...if trouble comes in threes, then I guess he should be in the clear.
I'm sure I will think of some other stuff but I will just include it in our regular posts.
