vacation developments

Well we are all settled on the beach vacation, we've narrowed down our hotel to 2 choices. So we need to make reservations, get our bus tickets to get there, and go shopping! Forrest needs some kind of sandals/flip-flops, I need a swimsuit and sunglasses, and we need beach towells. I'm so excited we're going on a real vacation!

My favorite song of the new songbook just might be 111 about resurrection. Last night when we sang it at the meeting, was the second time we sang it, so everyone had it down really well, and they sang loud! It sounded amazing.

I got a new study! She is 29, and the sister of a sister in our hall, Flor. She studied before in a different congregation, and is to chapter 5. She's really open and personable, which is a rare quality here. A Peruvian tendency is to never reveal anything personal about yourself, so while they are very warm and hospitable, relationships (maybe just toward foreigners) never reach a deeper connection, so a lot of relationships feel superficial. I'm really looking forward to studying with her though. A lot of my studies are really flaking out these days, so it came at a great time.
