Settling In

Today is only half over, but I'm posting this now so I don't have to do it before bed tonight. We had our Sunday meeting this morning and I continued to meet more people. The 'cong,' as people refer to congregations, has about 100 publishers and I think about 15 pioneers. But a lot of people were gone on holiday break and the meeting was small. In fact, so many people leave this time of year that they have to combine bookstudy groups for at least three weeks. Later today we're planning on going to a BBQ at some brother's house. That'll be nice.

Let me also tell you about Friday and Saturday:

Saturday - slept in and had good brunch at the local market, then went to play basketball with some brothers. Following that, Raleigh and I went to this other kid's house and had something to eat and watched movies. Had to bike home at 10:30 PM. It was fun and not too dangerous.

Friday - the weather reminded me of Oregon with overcast, chilly, and rainy weather. We didn't do too much expect go to Paddy's Market (like a giant farmers market under the roof of a Costco size building), and watch cricket.

A quick shot of the Kingdom Hall that Laura goes to. It's got an Australian theme to it, and a cool brick parking lot, where a brother will direct you to park at every meeting, as the lot is rather small and akwardly shaped.
