Little Lilly

We did go to visit gorgeous little Lilly last Thursday. Sorry I have not let you know how we got on till now. It was a very moving experience for us both, but particularly for Roger. When we got to the hospital we had to be let in through a special door and then we scrubbed up, etc and one at a time went with mother Janet to be introduced to Lilly Isobel who nows weighs 1200grams (possibly more by now). She is just the tiniest little girl but oh so cute. We were able to touch her and talk to her and observe this very special miracle.

We continue to pray for Lilly as well as Mum Janet and Dad Alain.

Men's Movie Night - Centrepoint Basel

Roger will be showing the last 2 DVD's in the Australian Drama Series "East West 101" at the Men's Movie Night tomorrow. The series was shown on Australian TV by SBS in December last year. This series has been a huge success and has certainly stimulated discussion by the guys. Roger is hoping to run a discussion evening next Thursday night and show short clips of the last 4 DVD's. About 7 - 8 guys have turned up for these evenings.

If only I knew how to post pictures properly, but alas I'm not that skilled!! So sorry, no picture!

This and That !

Roger and I had a wonderful lunch with our Youth Pastor Dave and his wife Simea last week. Their cute 2 year old daughter Lia entertained us as well. I took along a frozen strawberry mould made from market fresh strawberries which came and went all to quickly. We were talking with Dave and Simea about the upcoming Youth Camp at the end of this month which is for 2 weeks and we will be going by bus to Denmark (a 13 hour drive - should be interesting to say the least!). There will be around 60-65 on the camp, including leaders. We will need 2 Bus Drivers for the trip. Basically we are to be support leaders and lend a helping hand each day with whatever needs to be done. We are also looking for fun games to play in the evenings when the young people are a tad tired but need something to do! The camp will be held in a Boarding School so the facilities are very good. Also MAYBE we will even get a swim in the ocean which excites me very much. I do miss my swimming in the ocean.

Last Wednesday night we had dinner here with our Ghanan friend Johnny and then had a little study together. Johnny invited us to have lunch with him on Sunday. It's always good to catch up with him. He's very quiet and doesn't say a lot, but we enjoy being with him. He wrote off his car about a month ago when he went to sleep at the wheel. Fortunately he and his 2 passengers were not injured, only the car was a write off. This was a big shock for him.

Thursday afternoon we will visit little Lily Isobel who was born at 28 weeks 2 months ago and has been in intensive care ever since. Her mother wants us to visit her, touch her and talk to her. This is such a privilege for us to be able to do this, but we know it will be emotional as well. She will probably have another 4 weeks in hospital before she is allowed home.
