We are admiring a clear, bright moon uninhibited by neighbourhood lights and chatting in the obscurity. What we were supposed to be doing was discussing Eph 4 & 5 in the room upstairs (if the lights would work), on our 2nd last day of teaching before students do their test preaching sessions. The darkness wasn't complete, though, one of the students had his laptop out and with his USB mobile modem was getting info on how to connect with former teachers now in Wales using Skype!
In the end after a few very busy weeks it was a relief to have a 'night off' and it was at least an hour later that we decided to give up waiting for the electricity, and try to start earlier next week to catch up.
In the mean time, we had discussed what I wanted for the 'word study' that should have been due that night, teased the person who will be up first preaching, criticized the abortion news out of the new US President's campaign, organised embroidery of motifs for IMS graduation in 3 weeks (an IBEO student does that as his profession), and talked about possible snacks for the longer meeting next week.
It was a nice relaxed time.
