Here's the group of guys, minus one, who make up Drew's D-group. They're using DTB [Discovering the Book] as they meet every Saturday night for supper and then their meeting. This week they came to our house for the meal and an amusing discussion about various English cuss words.
Backing up. Saturday morning we talked for hours on skype with both sets of grandparents, a great-grandma and one auntie. Then we hurried to lunch with some co-workers and national partners in town. We're working with them to lead an Alpha-course English corner at the Sunday meeting place. Boy is it ever rewarding to come alongside something that is national-lead.
After lunch my (Rachel's) wallet was stolen while walking to the bus stop. Total loss, including value of wallet: $8.70. Titus and took the bus home while Drew stayed at the aforementioned English corner.
On the way home we met an eleven-year-old girl who asked to come home and play with us. She stayed all afternoon.
D-group came over for supper.
Sunday morning Drew and I went to the Chinese meeting together while our teammate babysat Titus. After a major house cleaning, we rested. This semester we've been designating Sunday as a day of rest and family-togetherness, no email or working on the to-do list.
In less than a week we leave for Thailand, where our company has a mandatory annual conference! So much to do before then...gotta go.
Thanks for reading.
Rachel for all

that's so funny that a lil girl came and stayed the whole afternoon with you! how sweet! :) Thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteHey there Rachel. Wow--sorry to hear about the wallet being stolen. I like the perspective you put it in though...$8.70. So, still frustrating but a little better when doing the conversion. I appreciate your ability to accept life.
