As of late
This past week has been enjoyable for Noelle and I. Last weekend we led 35 of our closest friends and co-workers to Telunas Beach, indonesia for a weekend of rest and relaxation. This was a great time for us to just sit and read, play some beach volleyball, and jump into the ocean. This week I finished a class on principles in counseling, which I thuroughly enjoyed.
This weekend
Friday we got together with a couple of families and had a wonderful Carbo-loaded dinner together as Saturday we competetd in a triathelon, don't worry, for those of you who know my swimming skills, I only did one third of the event, the biking. And the funny thing is, I only did one lap instead of two, and I was wondering why it was so easy :).
Then last night we had 14 8th graders over and Noelle talked with them about William Wilburforce, and then we watched the movie Amazing Grace. It was quite fun. What a great movie.

Been too long
It has been entirely too long! Noelle and I have been too busy, and we have not kept our family and friends back in the states and around the world involved in our daily life here in Singapore.
Home:
So, here is a quick update on our life here in Braddell, our new home within Singapore. We have been blessed by our new home and the ability to open it up to missionaries in the area, friends and family. Sam's parents were here for two weeks, a missionary from France was able to get a necessary trip away from Indonesia and stay at our place. A couple from China was able to come here for a conference. A student from Mid America Nazarene University was able to stay here for a week in preperation for his semester in China, and currently some representatives from our home office in Southaven Mississippi are staying here while doing some member care work with our staff. We are truly blessed to have had church in our home numerous times and Noelle has been able to make some delicious food; dessert, dinner and breakfasts.
School:
Our school just had a spiritual life week where we brought speakers in from Senegal for the middle school and high school and brought in a children's pastor from Ohio to speak with our elementary students. This was focused on our theme for the year: TRUTH, LIVE IT, LOVE IT, LEARN IT, TEACH IT. We are praying that students will take steps towards God through meditation and prayer and that their lives will be transformed through digging into the word to counter doubts about Truth.
Prayer for us:
We are both extremely busy with new roles in the school and need prayer to relieve ourselves of responsibility. We also need prayer for strength because there are many things which we are doing where we need emotional, spiritual, and physical strength to complete. We have been teaching students to live lives of integrity and we pray that we will live this out as they look towards of as models of integrity.

Staff needs
School starts tomorrow. Yesterday was open house. And today I am asking the Lord to grant us a great school year. One that is full of excitement, grace, love and TRUTH. Our theme for this year is based on 2 John 1:1-6 and the banner hanging on the second floor of the high school wing reads : TRUTH: KNOW IT, LIVE IT, LOVE IT, TEACH IT.
This year we as a staff will seek to model Christ's love as He continues to work through our lives. We pray that our students may be a blessing to their peers and to the community of Singapore by exhibiting Christ's Love and Grace and the Truth that comes through knowing Him in everything they do.
As we enter school tomorrow we will be without an integral part of our program here. Our music teacher is feeling led to stay at home this year which leaves us without a music teacher. Please pray that our students will be able to learn music this coming school year. Please pray that the Lord will bring to us a fantastic teacher and lover of music. If you know of someone who would be a great music teacher (k-12) please have them e-mail me at sfleischmann@ics.edu.sg about the opportunity to serve the coming year(s) in Singapore.

Sam and co-workers
I have never thought of myself as a singer. I was in choir in high school and in college, I love making up new songs with people who play the guitar and I believe I am above average on the ability to sing in tune. However, I love singing in the shower more than any other place. So when Jason and Peter asked me if I would join them for ShowerOK I thought what a fun idea. ShowerOK is a karaoke competition staged in a sound booth (shower) and located in the 1st floor of the biggest mall in Singapore. Jason, Peter and I sang to Suspicious Minds by Elvis. However we would have performed better with our first choice (which was not available) Looking Out my Back Door, by CCR.
If you would like to look at our video and vote for us we would appreciate it. (to vote you must be living in Singapore, sorry).
But whether you want to view our video or vote for us you can see us performing at

search for videos: our group name is Captain Crunch and the Funky Bunch.
