Nelson & ice cream

I were very blessed to have free hair cut at my Korean's friend house.
She learnt hair cut for 3 months before she came to UK. I think she
has done a great job. I got my hair cut at Yedam for £15. It was so
expensive. Thanks to Susan.

Farewell for Jill

Date: 18th July 2008
Venue: Jill's house

After 14 years of welcoming international wives to her house
for fellowship and bible study, Jill has decided to call it a day......

I shed tears during the farewell. I sure will miss this fellowship
so much. I still remember Edith brought me to this fellowship
when i visited UK at 2006.

Through this fellowship, i know Jill, who is a very caring old lady.
She always pray for us. I still remember Jill volunteered to help
me in settling my registration with General Practice (GP) and she
prayed for me when i could not be enrolled to Bounville College
for ChildCare NVQ course. She's very patience and willing to help us
to improve our English. I will miss her a lot.......

Jill......

Gift from Molly

We received a small thank you card from a child (Molly) and we were
very touched when we looked at that card. Molly actually drew the
picture of all teachers. She did it in great detail.

According to Molly, the one with black straight hair, red glasses and
red shoe (recently i've bought a pair of red shoes and i wear it to
school everyday) is me..............She has good observation.
