I spent Monday to Wednesday doing as much house work as possible before returning to working in an office.
Arthur and Graeme had a good Bible study on Monday at Half Tree Hollow. 2 new ladies attended - Mary John (the lady that asked me for a Bible a few weeks ago) and her mother. Tuesday's BWA at Sandy Bay was the usual good fellowship for me. The arum lillies along the side of the road to Sandy Bay are really pretty now.

When I left for the Deadwood study at 7 pm on Wednesday evening, the weather was ok in Jamestown. By the time I reached Deadwood (about 25 minutes later) there was a nasty wind and fairly heavy rain. It ended up being only Sandra and myself who chatted and prayed together.
I was so tense about starting work again, that I hardly slept on Wednesday night. But now, 2 working days later, I am fine. The people that I work with (Leroy and Hazel) are helpful, and I have started doing what I did best in my old job - trying to reconcile and make sense of the previous person's work, before starting with the current stuff. And if I get stuck later on, Graeme said that he would come in and help me - he spent most of Wednesday at The Consulate with Leroy, trying to work out how the previous lady had set up the accounting system, and making suggestions on how to make the work flow more effective.
Although the work and the people at The Consulate are fine, I really miss being at home during the day. I even miss my cat, who used to follow me around from room to room. I don't enjoy house work, but I did enjoy being at home, and the freedom that I had to spend my time as I thought best. Anyway, I am praying that the Lord will help me to let 'my little light shine' in the spots where He has placed me.

Gosh, two days in already!! I think this is a wonderful opportunity although yes, I can sympathize with your desire to be at home. I hope that you will start loving it and the interaction with people. BTW, the Consulate is looking quite snappy! When we left they were still heavily involved in renovations and the front was looking rather like the basement walls...scraped and ready for paint!
