Today we went to the meeting in the morning, which was quite hard to get up for as it was 10am, but luckily their Kingdom Hall is right around the corner so it doesnt take long to get there. It was a nice meeting (our second in America) and all of us answered during the Watchtower, which made us nervous cos the brother didn't know our names but it worked out fine. After the meeting we got the chance to talk to everyone again.
The main event of the day was our first proper trip to the mall. We went home from the meeting and basically went straight back out to the mall after changing and having a nibble of something to eat. We went to Topanga Westfield Mall which was huge! (Yes Westfield like our Westfield's) On our first day we went to North Ridge Mall (about the size of Sylvia Park) which they call a mini mall! So you can image if Topanga is one of their bigger ones how big it must be!
So me and Bri start in one corner and work our way around - going into shops we like the look of and Nate goes off to sort out SIM's/Phones for us to keep in contact without it costing too much! We dont make it very far before he comes back with a SIM for me cos we are so overwhelmed by the size of the stores. We continue on but dont get round even half of the top floor before we have to go to get ready for dinner at Kitty's. We come away with only a few purchases cos we are so overwhelemed with the choice and the size of things.
We ring George to come pick us up and wake him from his nap LOL. Once we get home we get ready and go to Kitty's house to have dinner with a few from the congregation. It is really nice to see everybody is a relaxed setting and we talk and talk so much that the whole night goes and we didnt even clean up! We met new people that Nate and I never met last time and they are all super nice. We go to bed buzzing and ready for another massive day at the mall again tomorrow.
