Last night's Alpha was good if not eventful. The only surprise was that 5 new women came, neighbors of one woman who has been attending regularly. Some of them seemed enthusiastic, and I hope we can invite them to the next course in January. After praying that God would hand-pick our attendees, it was fun to see what happened.

Yesterday I started doing the Philippians Bible study with the two girls that run the coffee shop. To my great relief and joy, they are remarkably sharper than the other woman with whom I'm doing the same study. After one 20-minute study, my prediction is that the next 35 afternoons will be relaxed and perhaps even fun.

After showing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on a 15-ft wide screen last Saturday night, one of our key 5-year-olds came up with the idea to have Movie Night every Saturday night. As others reminded us, it's a ministry, too-- some kind of alternative for kids to following their moms to play bingo. Tim obtained a CCLI licence to show legal movies for a year in the Comunidad Cristiana, up to crowds of 50. It was only $62.50!

Our friend(ish) C gave birth on Thursday afternoon to a beautiful baby girl. They were expecting a boy, so she was a bit of a surprise! The baby is perfect as far as I can tell (although they claim I would have a different view if I came to visit between midnight and dawn). Teeny tiny fingernails, a precious button nose, and the softest feet I've ever touched.
