A nice quiet weekend February 22, 2009

Yesterday morning my Mozambican friends, Claudia and Rosalina, were supposed to come by for a visit, yet at the last moment they had to cancel. Something always seems to happen to mess up my chances to see them, and consequently I tend to feel that we make no progress in our friendship, never get beyond a certain superficial level. I am feeling quite frustrated about this at the moment! I took care of some stuff at home, and then went over to Allison-Angie-Kelly’s around 12h00. It was good to catch up with Angie, and at one point we were all discussing my issues, and then we somehow never really all shared or prayed with one another – maybe they have just been feeling stressed out with almost being at the point of moving to their new place and lots of stuff going on – but I was disappointed. Afterwards I went by Roland and Susan Seiler’s, and got some long-awaited things of mine that at first nobody could locate and then finally turned out to be with them. They raised some doubts about the condition of the road driving up here, so now once again I am not 100% sure the car should come up with Dr Woodrow, or stay in SA. I hate it when I thought I knew how things were going to go and then I get thrown a curveball again… Church today was good and then I came home, watched a movie and stuffed envelopes. I will be really glad when all these brochures have been mailed out and I can focus on something else again! O yes, and I phoned the pastor that was looking at my work laptop – it’s dead as a doornail. Yet he had the wonderful news that somehow, I don’t know where from, he has a laptop for me that I can use until I get a new one. The Lord is so incredibly good to me! Now I really need to make work of finding a replacement, but in the meantime I hope to get busy on the mailing I need to get out.
