Welcome to India

I have had some busy days. Friday I got home from work and just had time to pack the car with duvets, pillows, shoes, hats , gloves, a few changes of clothes and a basket filled with Sunday School material and crafts. We were off on our church weekend.

We had a wonderful Friday evening. The meeting room was transformed into a cafe. A three man band played soft jazz while people sat and talked and enjoyed cake and coffee. There was a Puppet Show for the kids introducing what we would be teaching that weekend. There was some fun with a game and then the evening ended with a devotion and prayer time.


The theme of the weekend was prayer, but we also had another theme on Saturday evening - India.

Everyone was told to bring some sort of Indian clothes, or if they couldnt get their hands on that to wear something bright. Annelee (our ministers wife) and me had been to Ikea and got lots of wonderful things to decorate the dining room with. One guy from the church had just come back from India so he had also lots of Indian thing with him. The place looked fantastic!! (I forgot to take pictures, I was so busy decorating!) Everyone really got into the theme and came dressed up. Two couples in our church knew how to make Indian food and they put on the most delicious spread of food.

It really was a great weekend.

Today after work I met up with my friend Rhoda. It was soooo good to see her again. We went for hot chocolate. I gave into temptation and had warm apple tart and cream. Thanks Rhoda for a nice few hours of chit chat.

Then this evening Kristian and I went to hear a well known Danish comedian. It wasnt one of his shows but a meeting where he shared about his life and how he got started in the show business. He was really funny. Half way through he sang (Opera) he was fantastic! He also ended the evening by playing a few tunes on his harmonica - sometimes using his nose to play, and once again he sounded fantastic. It was over by 8.30pm so on the way home we sneaked into McDonalds and got ourselves a Strawberry milkshake to end our date!! haha Its been a lovely evening out. The tickets for the evening were given to us as a Christmas present from one of Kristians good friends.
