Hi,

Thanks to everyone who has viewed my blog. It has had over 3000 views since I created it.
Yesterday I went to Grace Generation church where the foxfires performed 2 dances and did some poetry. Julian, the foxfire co-ordinator introduced me as being an intern from Australia and made me stand up and the congregation applauded, it was a bit embarassing. The sermon was short (only 20 minutes), unlike GFLC the church I normally go to where the sermon is about 1 hr long.

In the afternoon Tarryn (I mentioned her in my previous post) picked me up and took me to her house. I played with Shiloh (he is 18 months old). We went to the market where he went on a merry go round and then played at the park. He really liked the slide and also got very attached to the swings - it reminded me of my nephew who seems to spend most of the time on the swings when we go to the park. It was a fun afternoon.

Last night I went next door and as I walked in, Claire (their 18 month old daughter) walked up to me which was a nice surprise. They have been waiting for her to walk by herself and yesterday she finally did (she usually holds my hand or holds onto the furniture). Charne, her mum, said it was like an early birthday present for herself.

The foxfires are living with me which has been good. They keep commenting on my stash of chocolate in the fridge and how it is so tempting. It has been very cold here, especially at nights. It feels like it is winter already. I am still deciding whether or not to stay here longer. I would appreciate prayer about that. Part of me wants to go home in June, but people I've talked to have been surprised that I am leaving so soon and they think I should stay longer until my visa expires.
