going to the beach

Litho Angie Trine Amis and Caduu

Saturday the 9^th of February

Today we prepared before going to the group. We brought clothes to change to go to the beach straight after cleaning the Kingdom Hall. It did not help at all.
Group witnessing in Nautilus. It’s a “richer” area so some of us were a bit more sceptic about finding any interest. Gladly they we’re wrongJ I was working with Rebecca and Gionathan, who was showing his good side today. Helping us with our street was Paulus, Ashley, Marian, Melanie and Bridget. The last ones are 2 German sisters visiting for a week, they’ve been here before and have just come to see the congregation this time, afterwards the will go all the way up north, we’re they were last time they were in Namibia, 2 years ago. They’re so impressed by the young ones’ progress!

Marianne and Astrid cleaning together, we all know that the
first impression is very important, here is our front door.

But we all know that when it comes down to it, it's the inside that  matters.

After cleaning the Kingdom Hall and singing our favorite Kingdom Melodies, we go back home, so much for preparing and bringing all our stuff. Bridget and Melanie join us for coffee, they will pack they’re buckey together and pick us up afterwards. Heading for Agathe beach! Just picking up Jessie, Bazzie and aunty Tandies dog, on the way. 

On our way out we see flamingos, lots of different
birds and lots of springbuck. They’re beautiful! 

We arrive late, and everybody is either playing in the water, eating or just enjoying the good company of the brothers. We go SWIM! Perfect after a warm day in ministry! The ocean is unusually warm today probably because it’s not so windy so the shallow water gets warm and doesn’t go out so fast…weird explanation, but  you get it, don’t you?! I mean you’re clever person! Anyways, it’s really great! 

the back of a buckey at its best.

Melanie and Bridget fell in love with Jessie last time they were here, now Jessie is almost twice the size, she's become a lazy dog, but still a fantastic personality.

Digg.

We through some ball, play some soccer and Trine takes Jessie for a long walk along the beach. She goes “tourist” on herself and takes video of JessieJ She is the most happy and loyal dog I’ve ever met, almost a bit too loyal. If you know Hanna you know she has a hard time handling needy, likes space. 

   When it’s time for food Hanna go to get Trine, Mama D has prepared for all of us. We eat, enjoy, we dance some.

 And after the sunset and a photo shoot it’s time to go home. Most on the back of a buckey, we’re in the comfort of inside a buckey.

Next week Anders and Andy, Stavanger-boys serving in the Herero-congregation in Windhoek, are coming to visit. They have gotten in to some paper-trouble, and Andy had to leave the country. They’ve been to South Africa and are going to try to get his visa renewed and prolonged when they get back in again. They’ve been here before and know the congregation, so on their way back their coming!

Sunday the 10^th of January

Meeting and field service. Trine worked with Marianne for a while. Fredericks' live in the territory so, I  collected white rocks with Ewald, he went bananas and loved it! Now it’s starting to look very nice outside the house. Some plants and it's very cosy!
The germans are leaving early, instead of a ten day stay, they will leave tomorrow. We enjoyed while it lasted! Germans out, Anders' in. But we  havn’t heard from the Anders’ what day they're coming or if they wanted to join us in being touristy the coming week so we’ll go for it tomorrowJ

Things we didn't knew how to:
