I talked tonight to Gyða after worship. She is very sweet and apologetic for her English which is in fact very good. I know only a couple of words in Icelandic. She told me she tends to understand Americans from Florida better than other states, namely Texas. So that is good for Jimmie, Linda and me who have lived large parts of our lives in Florida. I don´t know what it is, but I'm glad she understands me. I thought people from Texas talk slow also! I have caught myself flayling my hands around and talking upbeat like Rachel Ray trying to make sure I am understood. Í'm sure I look ridiculous and need to quit. I spoke with another member named Darlene who is looking forward to the classes on teaching children. She is from the Philippines and has grown up in the church. Linda and I want so much to be of help in teaching these sisters what they need to learn. Please pray for us that we will be understood in more ways than just a language barrier.
Today was windy again and almost knocks you off your feet. The coat and snow boots purchased just for this trip were well worth it and very good protection. I send love to all family and friends.
