Andy and I have been spending a lot of time with our noses in our computers to finish our curriculum, but I thought some of you might like to see what our office atmosphere is like. This lovely building (above) has a large multipurpose meeting space and several smaller offices. It is equipped with excellent internet (Starlink – thanks Elon!) and plenty of filtered water and Nescafe to keep us happy.

It is simple and welcoming. When we need to meet with someone, we have a comfortable outdoor space nearby, called a paillote, which is a french word that means “thatched hut”.

Here is where we have spent many hours with pastor D and his wife, working and re-working the material we will start teaching next week. There is usually a slight breeze to keep us cool, and the atmosphere is open and lovely.

We are grateful to have the freedom to meet like this, in such a beautiful space! I only wish I could invite my family and friends to join me here in the paillote for a cup of coffee and conversation.
