New friends

I wish I could say we had a great worship service this morning but, in fact, we just about missed it. We took the bus, missed the right place to get off, a monsoon came (downpour), we had to stop and buy umbrellas, and we finally got the church about halfway through the sermon. BUT afterwards, we met a nice American couple who we invited us out to lunch! Then we went to their home for coffee and had a delightful afternoon visit! They have been in Asia (Hong Kong and China, mostly) for the last 12 years. So they gave us a lot of tips on the culture here and that really helped. Their kids are all grown, too, so they will be a great couple to do things with here. They travel a lot though, so we will just have to catch them at home!

When we got home, we just relaxed, read the paper, and listened to the radio. Did I mention that we don’t have a TV yet? It was a quiet Sunday afternoon.

We did receive a note from our son about his weekend adventures, though. He accidentally broke his nose at a driving range! That, in itself, is a whole ‘nother story!

By the way, Sunday was a great day.
