One week later

So it’s been a whole week since touchdown. This week has flown by faster than an Airbus 388, with such a lot of running around, meeting of people, unpacking, familiarizing – but already we do feel very comfortable in Timaru and are getting the lay of the land and knowing which streets get us to which places. So, we didn’t have difficulty finding the Glenwood Rest Home where Nick had a short service this morning. We had a fair crowd of delightful NZ elderlies who listened attentively to his gospel presentation. Above is young Harry, the Lucas's 18-month-old. He's full of chuckles and fun. During the afternoon I had some time to work on the boys’ homeschool schedule a bit more – we are not using Sonlight exclusively as we have in years past but rather piecing together bits and pieces from all over, so I’m drawing up my own schedule. It’s been rather fun but I do have a more rounded appreciation of all that the good people at Sonlight actually do! This evening Nick is at his first elders’ meeting which I imagine will be a long one – no doubt he and the two others have a lot to discuss.
