Last days in Gaulle...

Hello everyone!!
This is my last blog entry from Gaulle for the time being!!!
I got a phone call this morning from the pastor and they have found a temporary accommodation for me, and so will be picking me up on Saturday morning...
The trip with the boys was this weekend too...and I didn't feel like going...so I prayed that there would be something so that I wouldn't have to go...and my friend rang up to say that on Saturday would I like to go to the turtle hatchery, so I said sure!! So I naughtily used that as an excuse...but now I am not going there either, and I have a proper reason!!!!
And so on Sunday, it will be my first time in church since I have been here, so that is exciting!!!! I honestly thought that I would be here another couple of weeks till they found something, and came to pick me up, I didn't know it would be less than a week!!!!

If not, on Tuesday I was invited to the school in Bussa's 102 years. My friends grandfather founded the school it seems. It was a mass of speeches, none that I understood...can't say that it moved me...but it was interesting..and seemed like I had been allocated to take pictures, much to my embarassement as my friend told me to go to the front to take closer pictures which meant I had to walk there infront of everyone who was sitting down, and there were special guests and police officials there...oh dear!!!

So I shall enjoy the last few days here, it has been really nice. I have met the people who run this place and it's nice to know a few people from around the country now. It also prepared me in the way that I must speak to strangers, as everyone was a stranger when I got here, so I have been seriously working on my first impressions!! Learning not to mumble...etc!!! I have also been able to take loads of time to pray and to get into a routine and be disciplined in it, which is really really good, so now my day is not finished till I read and pray, which is good and so benificial and essentiel.

So...on to the next town...to the next stage...let's see what happens there! here....so that! Yeah, I still don't have a clue of what is going on...but God has put people on my road that have been there during each of the stages, from before I got here, to whilst I am is amazing!!!

I was just sitting here reading the paper and heard these French people, and that the girl was born here but lived in France. So I thought I would practice my French and be social, and so I passed her table and just said hello and stuff. Anyway it turns out that she is like me!! She was adopted from Sri Lanka and went to live in France, but this is her second trip here, and this time she came with her friend but before she came with her parents. She has 2 brothers and a sister. But her sister and brother also were adopted from Sri Lanka and the other brother from Laos. So she is 23 and actually came to try and find her parents, but its a lost cause now, so they are tired and are just relaxing here a little before going home.The birth certificate is false and they just want money. Apart from Isabelle, she is the only other Sri Lankan person I have met who is adopted from here, or even actually adopted, actually talk an know what the other feels and can relate, and so it was really nice to exchange stories and just to talk and so on...we are going to have dinner tonight together or lunch tomorrow, so that is really nice!!!!!

BUT FOR NOW COLOMBO HERE I COME!!!!
