Visiting

We have started our ‘visiting drive’, and this time, are concentrating on visiting non Baptist folk, and trying to make friends with new people. Today I went to visit Archit Kumar’s mother. They are Hindu, but send their son to our Good News club and Sunday School. She stays at home looking after Archit and his 2 year old sister, Helena. I was told that she was given a non-Hindu name because she was "made on the island". The father, Sunit, is the island’s physiotherapist.

Later I went to Cape Villa to celebrate Kate Hudson’s birthday. She was not sure how old she was, but Anthony checked the records, and confirmed that she was 82 years old. I have found out that birthdays are a big thing here. I am sure I am going to offend someone one day by forgetting their big day of the year.

Arthur had a group of young people over for the evening, and Graeme and I were delegated to our rooms upstairs so that the young ones did not feel intimidated....
