A new week

And it will be better than the last one!

The meeting actually wasn't pretty, with the biggest complaint that the pastor does not let his "elders" know every single decision he makes - for instance, the theme of next week's sermon, BC material, who he meets or talks to and when (about ANYthing), but at least the yokels may calm down for the moment.

Reformation Service was nice yesterday, and several people actually showed up in red. In addition, there were 3 new members welcomed in - a very difficult decision for 2 of them, as they were both raised in the Roman church and are having to endure the hostility from the families regarding leaving the RCs and becoming Lutheran.

I'd have liked to have gone to the service in San Mateo, but it was just not going to work this year. After service, we went to a reception for the other new member, and the trip to SM would have just been too much, especially since we had gone to Cupertino last weekend.

There also seems to be a problem with the radiator in one of our cars - hint: rising temperature at stops and going uphill. Thankfully one of the members did a small Dx yesterday stating a faulty cap, so B plans to get a new radiator cap today. Hopefully that's all it is.
