well I have got to the computer today...I often think of more things to write, but my access is limited to the internet. I continue to see new things. This week I saw huge waves, and I was in wonder at the sight of them. Before a storm the waves get bigger, and the surfers love that. Last week I went christmas tree hunting with Jared and some friends. It was a lot of fun. I took it upon myself to carry the saw and did my best to saw the tree down, although I did need help from my carpenter boyfriend, who is well adapted to using a saw! We took photos and in due time I hope to get them up on the internet. I am experiencing a funny paradox at the moment, I am pleased to be here, and recognise that it is God's goodness, and also I feel very stretched at times, as I adjust to many new things. So I need lots of grace.
I have been surprised by how much sun I have experienced here. It is defintaely different from England. It doesn't feel like december! It gets pretty cold in the mornings and evenings, and really heats up in the early afternoon. So I am adjusting to what clothes are best to wear, apparently the trick is to layer. Jared has brought me some new tops since I got here, and that has been very useful. I have a green rope twist top, a black polo neck,. and a reversible black and white hoodie.
His friends are welcoming me with open arms, and that has been great. They are like family to each other. They all help each other out in really practical ways.
This week I have been house sitting and taking care of Lisa's pets-two of which are O.A.P's, so I am looking after a dog with hearing difficulties, and a cat who is 20!!! That is ooollllddddd for a cat.
I think I have been picking up a few californian mannerisms/phrases. I notice myself saying things differently sometimes. I have been here just about a month now, and it has gone pretty quickly. We are currently researching immigration stuff, and prayer would be appreciated for that.
So its over and out for now. I miss you English folks!
