a week in SL

I have received many questions about what my days are like....so I will do my best at trying to explain.

Mondays we have a meeting in the morning at our house (the Zizers home) to discuss whatever book it is that we have just read as a team. So far the meetings have mostly been about how we are doing and adjusting. This week we did actually talk about the first book.... "From Brokeness to Community". I highly recommend it!! There are various books that we will read over the course of our time here. Then we head to Lighthouse until 3:30 or 4pm. We hurry over to Faye's house after Lighthouse for our Krio lesson. After Krio, we have dinner with the staff and take part in the staff Bible study.

Tuesday morning is our weekly worship time with the WMF staff. It is a really good time to reflect on the Lord and just be in community together worshipping Jesus. Then Tuesday afternoons we are free. Tuesday evenings is the international Bible study with various missionaries from other ministries around town...we have yet to attend. This is an optional event for us. I am planning on going tonight....however, this will be after an attempt at cooking ourselves dinner. We will see how it goes :P First few attempts have been catastrophies!

Wednesdays we have Krio in the morning, then Lighthouse from noon to 4pmish. In the evening, we have dinner with the Zizers (the pastor and his family that we are staying wtih).

Thursdays is our day off....this will mostly consist of e-mailing and trying to find a place to get some down time.

Friday is the same as Wednesday but dinner at Faye's instead of at the Zizers.

Saturdays I will do chores in the morning, then basketball or hangout with the Lighthouse guys from noon to 2ish. Then off to Kroo Bay from 3:30pm until 5:30 or so. We then have dinner on our own.

Sundays will be church and then lunch with the Zizers and probably dinners with the couple that the boys are staying with.

So, that is it so far. We are getting into more of a rythm and I am finding pockets of free time to roam around the city by myself and spend time with the Lighthouse kids.....these pockets, Kroo Bay and Lighthouse will be my highlights!!

I know this isn't a very emotionally revealing entry, but give you a little insight into what life is like right now :)
