This morning was Sunday and we slept in as usual. Flow was up and about with headphones on as I awoke to a knocking at the door. After yelling come in and not hearing the door open I started to get curious in my dazed state. After Flow asked what was up I told him that someone was at the door. Upon opening it he told me FedEx was here with my package. I abruptly awoke and ran to the door in my PJ pants. I signed the paper excitedly. Today was the day my International Drivers License came in the mail. A real God send after a week and a half of struggling to figure out if it was even possible to get one without being in Canada. Needless to say it cost me quite a bit extra but it made it here safely and quickly. We then got up and after I made some breaky for the two of us we walked up to the laundry shack and got our clothes we forgot in the dryer from last night. We then decided it would be a great idea to play some tennis in the miday warmth about 5C in our PJ pants of course. After sorting through a few rackets and a couple dozen dead tennis balls we had a fun little match. A quick shower and off to church we went in the new shirts we picked up yesterday at this neat store called Octopus Army. Good deals and severly vibrant colours! Yesterday(Saturday) we worked a half day and then took a gander down the touristy street only five minutes down the road from us. This is the first time since we've been here that we have actually made it down there to look at some of the stores. Anyway after another fun church service in broken English we brought our German friend Jonathan Mueller over to spend the afternoon. He is working with a different mission organization working at a Christian camp across town from us, doing alot of cleaning in the off-season right now. He is here for a year from last sept untill this Aug. He is about our age and a fun time. So after Cliff and Marg got up here from Tokyo bringing back Sue and Phil who spent the weekend up there we had a great supper that Marg prepared for us. Following this we attempted our first outting on the wrong side of the road............In the dark. With my fresh new IDD in pocket we set out on some back roads to bring Jon home; which was fine considering we had him to give directions. On the way back however. Actually we did fine haha not even one wrong turn, missed stop sign(They are red Triangles), or terribly missed gear in the right hand drive (Left hand column shift) truck the mission has. Over all a fun time upon this new feeling of freedom. Upon returning we thought we would (quickly) tell Cliff of our safe arrival when we ended up going in and visiting with him and Marg for a few hours, lots of fun and laughter pretty awesome connection for 40 or so year difference! Now time for bed considering I have work tommorrow. Thank you all for following our stories feel free to comment if you would like or have any questions. Thank you all for your prayers, we are doing great and loving Life!
God Bless
