I think I've lost my new little Canon camera. The last time I had it was on Monday, when April asked me to take her picture in front of Longview Street (where she is from in Texas). It’s been in my purse in its case all this time, and I usually take the camera out of the case in my bag to take pictures. Strangely the camera and the case are missing, even though I never take the case out of my bag. The only time I’ve lost sight of my purse is at my service placement in Ashfield on Tuesday. We put our bags up behind the stage and leave them there for the 3 hours we’re there. I just can’t believe it could be stolen and nothing else in my purse taken, like my wallet. Anyway, I’m really really hoping it turns up in our room somewhere, even though I’ve searched the place at least 6 times since last night.

Last night April, Mona and I went to Darling Harbour and met Laura and Emily. We had gelato and turns out it was May Day so we saw fireworks lit in the middle of the harbour. That was when I discovered my camera wasn’t in my bag. We took a walk around the harbour, which is beautiful at night, and stopped in a couple of clubs to dance. It was fun to do something with Mona for the first time and get to know her better. 

This morning I got up and went to an Anglican church in Five Dock that has a later service. It was a really nice service, some younger people, a late time, and a convenient walk so I think I’ll go back next week. The rest of my time this weekend I’ve been working on a presentation for Kimberly’s class about American health care reform. Our group met yesterday for a few hours and that’s where I am now. Brian and Sue have been gone the last couple days and are coming home tonight from their Emmaus Walks and conferences.
