Making Friends

There is another mom, Emma, whose kids are each slightly older than ours, and they only arrived on the island last Friday from the UK, on a year’s contract (her husband is the educational tutor, whatever that means). Their shipment of household stuff (and kids toys) only arrives mid-November, so she is at a bit of a loss as to what to do with her kids, especially since next week is half term and all the kids are on holiday. So I offered for her to come around as we have toys.

This morning the weather was cold and miserable, not good outdoor weather, but this afternoon it cleared and we got a bit of sun. There is always cloud hanging over the island, which is fine so long as we see a bit of sun. Apparently it does get very hot and sticky in summer, this is a bit unseasonably cold at the moment from what “they” say.

We have about 20 people attending the Tuesday night bible study, as many, if not more, than come to church! Nick is doing the Spiritual Disciplines, the first one being Worship. I think they are learning a lot, much of it seems new to them.
