Yesterday I arranged to go to the Longwood playground with Svetlana and her boys. Svetlana (Dr Theron) is back on the island on a 6-month locum. She was the doctor who did the anaesthetics on Caleb’s belly button op in April, who lives in Pretoria, and is now back her with her two boys. It was a beautiful day, and one of those rare days when the sun is actually shining in Longwood. It was great to catch up with her while the boys played.
Today most of the shops were open again, at least for the morning, so we all went to town for Nick to exchange a too-small shirt. Then we went to a few other shops for some groceries, and home. We just stopped long enough to get some picnic stuff together, and then off we went for some kite-flying at St Paul’s middle school. Although not very windy today, there was enough wind to get the kite up for a satisfactory time. During the afternoon Aaron slept as he’s been a bit sick, Caleb listened to the missions story CD, and Nick played with his new pedal. He has been having fun experimenting with the different sounds. He can make his electric guitar sound like an organ, a bunch of cats, string ensemble, and many other effects and sounds, even a guitar sound!
Caleb wants to be a traveling missionary, so he wants to get a motorbike with a hook at the back where he can hang his tent. We made very sure that he doesn’t want to be a missionary just because he wants to travel, but because he wants to tell people about God. We spoke about assurance of salvation today. He said he wasn’t sure that he is a Christian, so we explained that if he believes Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins, and has asked for forgiveness and is now living to please God, that he is a Christian. He seemed satisfied with that answer, and satisfied that he is a Christian.
