April 12, 2007--Pastor's wife and play

I am officially a pastor's wife! Erick received his certificate in the mail yesterday from the District and he is now a licensed minister in the Assemblies of God. He is now licensed to preach, and he can marry people and perform funerals and everything else. He just doesn't have a church. So, he's going to contact the District and try and find churches over the summer that are too small to support a pastor and go around and preach at them so he can get more preaching experience, and then hopefully by the end of the year we can start looking for a position. The other interesting thing going on right now is that I'm in a play. The homeschool drama club is putting on a couple of plays next week. One is "The Importance of Being Ernest" and the other is "Tevya's Daughters." I wasn't involved in it, at least until a couple of days ago when we found that the boy playing Tevya was sick with Spinal Meningitis. Fortunately for him it's the viral kind, so it's not life-threatening, but his doctor will only allow him to act in one performance. They didn't want to cancel the play, so my mom asked me to fill in. I'm allowed to carry a script, as the play is a week from Saturday, but I'm going to try and memorize as much as I can. So I've got a lot of work to do. My sister is doing make-up and she's all excited at the prospect of making me look like a middle-aged Jewish man.
