Sunday at the Cathedral

Today is Carrie and Dale's 17th anniversary. I know! with the same guy! Congratulations to them. Annica spent the last two weeks trying to keep their gift a secret -- a beautiful painting of elephant and her calf. We will celebrate tonight by letting them go off by themselves on date night to the restaurant up the hill. It will be spaghetti night at Bega Kwa Bega restaurant here in our apartment. We have to celebrate Carrie's birthday on December 7th with at least a cake.

We worshiped this morning at the Lutheran Cathedral in the center of Iringa. It is the largest Lutheran Church in the Diocese and an amazing place. Many of the staff and faculty of Tumaini University worshiped with us. Here is our view at the 10 AM service.

The afternoon was a time of rest. I graded the tests; Sharon read and rested. The power only went out once -- just as she was about to work on the sewing machine. It came right back as we will need it for Skyping later. That's all I have. Hope all your time off was great.

Tobie, Annica and Caleb had dinner with us tonight. We all had a few rousing games of Uno and Janga but the biggest contribution to the night was Annica's notes on the back of our apartment door.

In case you cannot see it, there are post-it notes on the back of our door -- one per day. Each one lists the time I have to be at Tumaini for school. I will have to get up early each morning and check the post-it notes to see where I have to be, when. Thanks Annica.
