You've got mail, sort of

After spending part of the morning at home (scrapping of course), and then having coffee with Clare, the boys and I headed to town, partly to bid farewell to Sarel and Elza who were off on holiday today, and partly to check for post. We tried so hard with the post, strongly suspecting that there would be something exciting waiting, but quite fruitlessly. We hung around, browsed the shops, had pizza slices for lunch on the post office steps, bought milk, dropped off something for someone, paid a visit to Iva, browsed more shops, visited Pam for tea, quite successfully killing about three hours in town. Eventually we gave up and came home. Maddy phoned during our supper to say that they had gone for post, and there was something in the box which I’m most eager to retrieve tomorrow night! Nick phoned again this morning, and said that his first service on Ascension last night went well – there were only 14 people, but he was encouraged by the turnout and said he felt great liberty in his preaching. This is usually indicative of strong prayer support. He is hoping that the numbers will increase as word gets around – his next meeting is tomorrow night.
