After the Bible study, we have a meal together and a time of fellowship. For the first time in several months, we were able to eat outside on the terrace. We have not had enough water to be able to wash the terrace for us to be able to use, but praise the Lord, we now have access to city water. We prayed that the landlord would want to put in city water and he did! It is not hooked up to the house, but I can hook up a hose to the spigot by the road and add water to our cistern! This is a great blessing!
We also celebrated two of the ladies' birthdays after our Sunday meal. Kami made this cake and we tried to sing Happy Birthday in French but we couldn't get started on the right tune so we just sang in English! Afterwards, we took Bruno and Maria to the voting precinct. Yesterday was also the day to vote for the new president of St. Barthelemy! We were able to help Bruno into the building and help him cast his vote. It is always a blessing for us to help people. As we drove Bruno and Maria home, Bruno said that he had a great time and wants to come back again when we get back from Florida with the new baby. All we can do is thank God for answered prayer and continue to pray that one day, Bruno and many others here will accept Christ as their Saviour and become true born-again Christians. (By the way, Bruno said that he loves his clock and pushes the button many times a day to "tell" him the time!)
As a side note, Kami made this great "tent" in our living room and furnished it with fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, pillows and blankets.
For our Family Fun Night, we all gathered under the tent for cookies and stories! (Although I do have to admit, I am getting old...It's not easy to still get under a tent and try to get back up after sitting like that for a while!)
