We've been here a little over four months now, and we continue to build relationships in our church here. We've gotten to know more families these past few months, and with the women's bible study, I continue to get to know more ladies in the church - there are quite a few with kids around J and E's age! And as we grow these relationships, we grow roots here too. And even though I know we're only here for a year, I feel more and more settled, and less in transition. It's a nice feeling.
J demonstrates remarkable self-assurance nowadays. While sitting at a table outside the sanctuary just now with some people we didn't know yet, he introduced himself, told them his age, pointed out his Mei-mei, and made some more conversation. Making sure they know he's part of the community too!
At the same time, today's message brought to mind our church family in CBC too. I was reminded of our relationships with the families in our home church - we miss you! And although I know God has brought us here to Claremont, I'm sure that we're missing out on what's happening in CBC too.
We brought my mum to Olvera Street in downtown L.A. today, the heart of the Mexican community here. It was even more festive today because Mexico is also celebrating its independence this weekend. It was quite interesting checking out the sights. J decided too late, after we had left Olvera Street, that he wanted a Mexican flag.
