Caroleen’s Treasures

I have some sort of ME time while the little guy was having his afternoon nap and Donald and the little girl are off to downtown area to pay bills. They will also pick up a small parcel at the post office. I hope it’s still there because the first notice came last November 6. I think they will discarding (I think bringing home is more appropriate) the parcels if not claimed withing 60 days. We still have until tomorrow to claim it that law is applied. It’s actually for Ella from a friend in the US. I think it is a book. But even it’s only a book, the thought of sending it all the way from where it came from made me really want to go get it. If you live up here in Catalunan Pequeño, you would agree that going downtown (particularly in the Post Office) is not at all easy. Well to me it isn’t since I don’t have something to do near that area. So since Donald will be paying our light bill which is just over the corner, they might as well get it.

Anyway, as I was fixing Ella’s helmet and was reminding her not to sleep (they are riding the motorcycle) and to take good care, he was like a grandma again telling me more DO’s and DONT’S. Not to forget to lock ALL doors and windows, not to let strangers in and not to go out of the house unless it is on fire. This girl can drive me nuts!

I was not able to blog yesterday because I was called for back up early. And since it was Saturday night is my shift on OHJ, I was coding until the worship service was about to start. I have more than a dozen kids yesterday on my Sunday School class and we continued on the story about Moses. It is good that kids from the neighborhood was here at last. Ella wore the dress I have sewn. Of course I feel so proud that I have sewn her a dress. But even it is the simplest design I have seen in the internet, I still had a very hard time figuring out what part to pass through the serger machine first

It was also our Meal Fellowship and a baptism of two more souls after lunch. It was just a simple fellowship and everyone enjoyed the food. I wa expecting to see frog on the table but there is none. I hope next fellowhip there will be “adobong tokak” (frog cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, onion, garlic, ginger and bay leaf with a little sugar).

Today a package from Australia arrived. My friend Kylie sent it and it was a big envelope with gifts for all of us three. I got….

Donald got….

And Ella was so happy to receive….

There is also some seeds but I will keep it and plant it in our own yard. We are planning to buy a lot near here and we pray God will bless our plan. It is nice to live here in the parsonage but it is better to have a place to call our own. Of course we will not buy an expensive lot. Got to go now, have to check on how to get a passport. Who knows we will need it someday
