So...what´s all this about then?! Well...Meta-noia is the name of the youth group we started in September and last week we met as usual on Friday night...though this time for some good ol´fashioned fun at the bowling rink! We had two new kids along and quite a fun packed two hours complete with an American meal of burgers, fries and a soda to top it off! I was actually surprised that the place

Who would´ve guessed God´s great timing in blessing me with not only a new job as a nanny starting tomorrow morning at nine, but also a part time job nursing people at home that I started last weekend! Since Saturday I´ve been putting in around two hours a day looking after an elderly British man (used to own a night club here with his wife and have an entertainment act, old Frank Sinatra style!)

Well, I had a good trial day today and the mother said I could start on the first of October! Yay! I'm so happy and I'm really looking forward to it! The girls names are...Katarina (4), Sophia (2) and Lisa (8mos) and are quite easy to get on with. Sophia reminds me of Annika (my sister) at that age...quite cheeky and at the moment in the middle of 'weaning off the nappy'. Lisa is quite a happy

Seven hours a day, six days a week and 15 hours a week on the bus to get there....Jonathan gets to spend a lot of time this year overlooking Tenerife´s most beautiful (my opinion) beach! His official title is 'Apprentice Waiter' but most of the time he´s in charge of the bar/café area serving meals and drinks and keeping everything clean and tidy! In fact today he only had one customer all day,

So the question in everyone´s mind is........When are you starting work again, Moni? And why be THE NANNY again? Well.....after my six month break from work (recovering from viral bronchitis) I now feel strong and well enough to do a half day job (not 100% just yet). As many of you might remember, I had an interview here in April with a German doctor to apply for a job as a receptionist/

This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.

Hello world! Yeah, it sure has been a long time since I've let you know my happenings...I do appologize with deepest regrets! Though maybe you will forgive me when I tell you what I've been up to.....I got married! Actually I should say, "WE got married!" Yep, on a sunny Saturday morning in Kansas City, Kansas (actually Overland Park if that says anything!) we said the 'I do's' and 'I will's' and

Yes, He got in! Well...it looks like God definately has a spot for my beloved fiance' Jonathan to be a TEFL teacher...or at least to do the course! After two interviews he got in and will be doing a four week intensive course on teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) starting the second week in March! Please pray for him as it can be a stressful time with this new course, his other two

First of all I am terribly embarrassed that I haven't posted anything since December! I do apologize in my best adapted British way..... whatever that is. Oatcakes. STAFFORDSHIRE oatcakes! I was first introduced to this traditional food by my future in-laws (or is that current out-laws ) seven months ago. Since then we've been having oatcakes (which are about half the thichness of

In the beginning...the beginning of my blog-thinking that is...there was my pastor, pastor Dave. He is a kind, big-hearted man in whom you could feel the love and devotion to his Lord and his flock as clear as daylight...just oozing out of every message, word and smile. When remembering him (as he has since left our church to pastor, love and care for a younger congregation) I can hear his warm,

As many of you already know (and I do hope more are still praying) I have been in the country for four months now, working parttime for a nursing agency and hoping and praying for a job at the local government hospital, actually only five minutes walk away! Well...to present to you already a partial answer to prayer, I was offered a permanent position in the surgical unit two, no almost three

Well...Today is the day! Six more months until Jonney and I tie the knot! The day started out with a striking headache that woke me at 2:30am...ahhhh the beautiful reminder of the sinusitis that has been raging a nasty war on my body for the past few days....a cold as some say...and cold was definitely what I felt, though I had three blankets, a cardigan, a knitted quilt and a hot water bottle

Buenos Dias! Welcome to the daily observations from Monalisahus! Some of you readers might be family...or family-to-be (well, you know who you are), friends or just interested viewers....I do hope you all will gain some insight into the world and life as I am living it and possibly learn something....like how not to do the same silly mistakes as I make and hopefully not get as depressed about
