The pics are me putting up a bauble, Tiffany our friend with Karisa and Rebecca in a frosty air, the Christmas tree in Overton (hopefully they don't break the bank with the electric bill) and the carolers on the 27th of November. Enjoy reading now!
In my never ending quest to chronicle our time with lovely Karisa I will delve into the next few days, as unfortunately for the reading public we did not make any more in roads to mainland Europe, but we did go to a movie and out to eat at Pizza Express. After returning late on Wednesday night Rebecca and i were up and it into the Kings School for our Thursday morning teaching sessions. We both have three small reading groups we are responsible for, it's sort of way to scratch the teaching itch. Shocker that Karisa didn't want to join us for that time, getting up early, going in to town to watch us sort of teach, when she could have a lie-in (spelling?) and then enjoy her morning peacefully. Anyway she chose the latter, as would most breathing humans. That night we did take her along to the Alpha meeting, it was our next to last one, this one about What is the Church? That is a compelling question and one that cannot easily be answered, even after reading Ephesians and Colossians you'll still have questions. We did make some head-way that night and all are excited about another group forming after this Alpha is completed.
Friday brought about some even colder temperatures, my it was chilly whilst she was here, not so much now in fact it has been down-right balmy while Indiana is suffering through below 0 temperatures. After a delightful English lunch at Jeff and Rosie's that night we were present at the Overton Carol Singing and Turning the Lights on in the Square Extravaganza. I say extravaganza because with the turnout of people you would have thought that a Formula 1 driver was there or maybe even Santa, or maybe even both. That's right former Formuala 1 driver Jody Schecter who lives in Overton was there to ceremoniously turn on the lights, not that are that many on that poor meager tree, but he pressed the button on the count of three and roar could be heard for about a second, and maybe up to the Co-op on Winchester St. Then just after our 50 person, arctic air daring choir rung up another rendition of Silent Night the horns started hooting on the fire engine as jolly Old St. Nick appeared, it would have been even more cool if Dasher, and Dancer and Vixen etc... had led the way but it was the Overton Fire Squad doing the duties. Realizing we were freezing we all made our way back to 47 to attempt to start a fire which didn't light and then everyone turned in early on that cold frosty night.
