Bees live where??

These are the three big murals we have done for the holiday club. Unfortunately perspective is lost without one of us standing next to them, but the biggest one, the barn one, is about twice my height. Our quarter-page, colour ad went into the St Helena Herald today (on the very back cover), and a presenter of Radio St Helena came by the house this morning to interview Nick for a radio broadcast tonight, all about the holiday club. It’s had some good publicity! Please pray for us for next week, we are excited about it and trust the Lord for His work in the kids’ lives.

Today has been a good day, other than hot, despite a few showers of rain. The rain and clouds don’t seem to make any difference to the air temperature, although every once in a while there is a cool breeze. I vacuumed the house this morning quickly, and then did a science experiment with the boys (conduction this time). We did some puzzles and a bit of reading too. When doing the puzzles, Aaron was doing a little one of matching animals to their houses. Nick happened to be helping at the time, and he said to Aaron, “where do bees live?” Aaron’s limited experience with bees resulted in the answer: “In windows”. Ha ha ha. We saw more dead bees in the window at Spar after that, which made me think that Aaron’s onto something!

Some very exciting news – last night one of the older ladies in Nick’s Sandy Bay bible study professed faith in Jesus. She has been attending church for many years, and lately bible study, and over the last few weeks has been praying for conversion. Nick went to visit her on Wednesday, and she said then that she now believes she is saved. So at the bible study last night she made it public. Praise the Lord!!

Nick was given a huge tin (935g) of ground coffee, for the filter coffee machine. It’s quite a nice brand, and I suspect it’s going to last for a very long time! We pay over £3 for a little 100g packet of coffee, so this is quite a significant saving. I think it’s an American product.

We are now finally finished all the chocolate supplies we had in the house. Not one single piece of chocolate remains. This is the first time we have had no chocolate on hand since arriving!
