Nona's Thoughts in Sri Lanka

Today is March 24th and Popa and I were able to spend the day at Mount Lavinia Hotel south of Colombo. It is a beautiful beach and the weather was perfect. We had a buffet breakfast and fish and chips for an early supper. We got too much sun! Our time here in Sri Lanka as been fabulous and we are sad to see our visit coming to an end. Popa and I have been playing Wii with the kiddos next door to the flat, oh what fun. Popa was quite exhuberant in his competitiveness this evening. While he played I went for a quick birthday visit for one of the pastor's wives. We had chocolate cake and a nice visit. The availability of products is quit surprising and life is actually quite enjoyable now that we have air conditioning to sleep with. We enjoyed a wonderful meal yesterday with our Sri Lankan family and then went for espresso with the eldest son and his wife. It is amazing to be old friends and to share the goodness of God with one another. One week from today we will begin our journey towards Oregon, where oh where has the month of March gone. My thougths today are simply about the faithfulness of my God, the true and living God! I am overwhelmed with HIS love for me and want to remind each of you that HE loves you. The travelling Nona.
