Changes Update

I feel like it’s been a long while since I last blog and time is quickly going here. Actually I have been wanting to blog for a while but just haven’t gotten there yet. There have been lots of things on my mind the last couple of weeks and there have been a couple of changes in the last couple of months I haven’t shared with you all.

So the first change that has happen since I’ve returned back to work after my Christmas holidays is my living arrangements. That first week back to work (Jan 11-15), I learned that Lucille and I would be moving, what we didn’t know was the actual move date. On the Tuesday of the following week at about 9:30 pm Lucille informs me that we are moving the following afternoon after work! Eek, scramble, scramble, I pulled out my suit cases and started packing my clothes and other possessions asap.

The house we now reside in is a very lovely home and my room here has a ceiling fan, spacious cupboard & closet space and carpet. We now have new house mates again, like before in the other house I was living with four girls who were part of a church gap program called Destiny Team through NCF, but their program finished at the end of November. Now the program has started up again with new participants (aprox 30 young adults), and 2 girls from this year’s program are now living with us. The old house we were living in has 9 boys occupying it from the program! Also living in with us is another girl, who like me has nothing to do with the Destiny Program, but is a University freshman student at the near by Kwa Zulu Natal Varsity Campus. So my house mates are Charlotte & Tash (Destiny Team), Jess (KZN student) and Lucille our house mother. The house is spacious and I think more comfortable which also has a better A/C for the days that reach the high 30’s and low 40’s!

My second change is that I have now started attending a home group. Home groups meet on Tuesday nights and are like bible study groups. This group I’ve been meeting with is a little younger than I, but I have been enjoying it so far. One of the guys in the group named Darryl would like to move to Vancouver, BC and he has even managed to learn all our provinces and territories and their capitals and also knows that July 1st is Canada Day. So, last week I took along with me a couple books I had bought about Canada and shared them with my group and they loved looking through the books looking at the pictures of our beautiful country.

So even though I’m not living on church property I am still active with church activities during the week. Sunday at 6pm church service, Tuesdays home group and Thursday church prayer meeting! These activities and my various work place locations make my weeks go quickly. And in about 5 months almost to this day I will be boarding a flight heading to Akron, US. So much I still want and need to do in these 5 months. But I am enjoying it here and will have many sad goodbyes L
