hi there

We went to the meeting today. A young ministral thingy (can't remember the second word) had his first talk. He already had done a symposium but this was his first hour-talk. He was only 22 or 23 years old, which is very young. But he did great.
I also got to know how Larry had come in the truth. He used to be real arrogant and proud and used to use a lot of bad language. I can't picture him like that, because he's just such a sweet brother, with a great personality. That's how the truth changes people, when they get to know what the bible says about how to live and how to act and when they appreciate it, they change and really get the new personality the bible speaks about.

And I have met more people at the meeting, there are a lot of brown people, and they're so nice to me. One sister just moved here and she said I was all fancy and stuff with my colorful skirt and so on, and that we had to come together and that she would do someting with my hair and so on.. Don't know what she's going to do with me, but we'll see.

Another couple are engaged and will probably marry the 14th of july. Just after I have left Alabama. So that's a pity, but I hope birdie will send me pictures.

It's 34 degrees Celcius outside, and fortunately the humidity is a bit lower. Yesterday it was really high which made it a bit too hot. The humid condition tells you how much water is in the air. And when it's really high and you go outside it's just like you're walking in a hot cloud.
Martha (the Falks daughter in law who lives just down the road) told me the humidity will get higher during summer...

I don't suffer much from the timedifference although I feel tired aroud around twelve, because in the Netherlands it's around 17.00u and I can't get to sleep at night, and will wake up early in the morning. But the two boys from the congregation who take the bus from here to school will arrive early so I guess I will get out of bed then.

Carlos and Marcus and their mum just came back with Birdie. Talked with them, showed them pictures of you guys:) of their brothers and sister back in the Netherlands. And talked to my Brother and mum and dad through skype:) so did marcus and carlos. They'll be here tomorrow morning at 6 I guess..

Maybe I'll be out tonight or do something else. centreal said she might call me to do something tonight, but she hasn't called. I just see what I'll do tonight.
Hope I'll see more of the area though:)

lots of alabama love, merel
