Hello,

Mum and dad were complaining about a non-updated weblog so here I am again!

Had our meeting yersterday, got my kingdom ministral-thing, so that I can prepare my meetings, and uhm the watchtowers for the upcoming ten weeks, so that I can prepare the study as well.

The 'peeps', as birdie likes to call them, hatched yesterday. The peeps are guinies, (don't know how you spell it though) and they're so cute!! I have made the cutest picture ever!! check the photo:)

We've put them in a big box in the front of the house, with a lamp so that they won't get cold and stay safe.

The meeting was real nice, brother Brighton (at least that's how his name sounds...keep forgetting his name, although he's real nice) asked me whether I would like to be householder for one of the sisters some day during the time I'm here. I really don't know, I'm getting more and more comfortable speaking English, and more confident about it, but I don't know if I can do that. Because some sisters speak with that real strong southern accent. And when you're nervous I think I would have difficulties to understand them, although I'll do understand them right now.

We're finally getting some rain, well at least I hope it does. it started thundering 5 minutes ago, and it might turn up in some showers. But we really need a bit more than some showers. Everything's just so dry, everyone has constantly to water his plants and stuff.

This morning we (birdie, rene and I) to garage and yard sales, which is real fun. People just put their stuff in their garden and sell it for 1 or 2 dollars or less. rene bought some real nice stuff, like a nice dress that was just like new. And I bought (well the lady gave it to me actually) a little vest for Noah.

After that we had lunch in an mexican restaurant. There was this waiter, and rene really thought he could stay (bad girl, you're married). Well he was kind of ok, but I don't think she would have liked them that much with an everyday American accent instead of his mexican-english accent though!

And we saw this baby who was only 5 months old but as big as an elephant, I was kind off shocked, who would fed his/her baby that fat? The mother was very tiny..

Anyway, I'll put the pictures of the 'peep' in here, and then get some other stuff to do.

I really like it that you all put so many comments on my stories:) please keep up the good work!!:P

love and alabama hugs (they all hug each other when they meet, maybe we should introduce that in the Netherlands too???? me want hug!!!!)
