The Routine
It has been a very busy week here, and will be so until after Thanksgiving , next weekend, as we will have a very full house, half of whom will be leaving, [participant, that is,] and most of the special guests. That will mean that we will have all those rooms to Deep Clean, [unless we have to Spring Clean them, which is even more detailed than normal]. Today, we are both on "PM On Call", until 10 pm. Tomorrow we have to do the Costco Run (we take film to be developed for the participants), instead of today, which we now do twice a week. Next week is my turn to do the Coffee Break preparations & clean up, and warm up whatever is available for lunch , for we volunteers ,and clean up again. So, after our poolside dinner this evening, or tomorrow, I need to do some baking. Not fun in a foreign kitchen with foreign flours, etc., but our budget doesn't allow us to buy everything.
Sometime soon, we will rent a car, and go up to the top of the volcano, about a 2 hr. drive. Ralph wants to see the sunrise up there, so that will mean getting up in the middle of the night. We are more than half-way through our time here, so must put our available days off to good use. Next week no-one gets the half day off, and we are on call again next Sat., 6am to 10 pm. The days and weeks just fly by!
Almost forgot, last night we and another couple went for a drive down the road to an area with a boardwalk by the ocean, and walked for some distance, by moonlight, torchlight, and footlights along the pathway, watching and listening to the waves come crashing in, and seeing the whitecaps on the dark water, 2 nights after fullmoon. The sky was very clear, and the moon was bright, and all the hotels and shops had lots of lights on, so all the beautiful palm trees were so clearly silhoueted [sp ?] outlined, t'was loverly!!!
It is so amazing to be here, and be a part in some small way, of The Great Commission! It is so effective, it is astounding that this wasn't done before in this manner! We hope you are all well, safe and warm, may God surround you with His love and peace!
