Yesterday was long but good. It was Mother's Day back at home (not here - it's celebrated in May here) so we started the day by calling home (though Andrew's parents were still travelling back from holidays). What a wonderful thing Skype is. We can see each other on our computers as we talk and it's free!
We left the house just after 9am for church. We got back just after 3 and went straight into another Skype call with Helen and Steve in England. They are still very involved in the ministry and were catching up on all that has been happening.
Just as we finished the call with them Alex and Paty arrived. We talked loads (of course!) and ate together.
They left about 1/2 an hour before Robin + Bebe arrived (our field treasurers). We have some things that need finalised before they leave in a couple of weeks.
Before they left Esther (church planting missionary) texted to see if she could come over to pick something up. We said of course...
...and just after 11pm it was back to just us!
What a blessing to have a home to entertain people and to be surrounded by so many wonderful folk. For Christian workers Sunday can be the busiest day of the week but we are encouraged that we are beginning to connect with some people in La Loma. One of the young mums in the church is going to cut my (Carol's) hair this week and Andrew has also connected with a young family who are new to the church. Please keep praying for the development of our relationships with people there.
