Sunday evening: this morning we were prayed for and over in both services at First Baptist Church here in Armstrong. Have said goodbye to our friends and then spent the afternoon getting packed. Our trusted suitcases will go on another adventure with us: with their duct tape and red tape they are always easily spotted on any conveyer belt!
We have reduced the amount of clothing and increased the amount of other essentials like spices, mustard and band-aides.
The weather looks very promising for our drive to Langley on Tuesday. After a visit with friends in Abbotsford we hope to have dinner with Fred and Edel (longtime friends from our Ladner days). They will drive us to the airport and look after our car for the next two months. We trust that the flight will leave on schedule (23.45). The direct flight to Sydney will last 15+ hours. After a short wait we’ll fly to Brisbane were we’ll be met by Lynne and Eileen, whom have settled in that area after decades of translation work in Africa. They were frequent guests at our house in Nairobi and this time it will be them hosting us. The following morning will board for our flight to Honiara.
Our itinerary has seen ongoing change so it will be interesting to find out how and where we can serve this group of dedicated literacy and translation experts.
A big thank you for all of you who are so interested in our travels and willing to help out financially and in prayer for us. An especial ‘thank you ‘to Margaret Crozier who will keep our blog going. We do trust that we’ll have reasonable access to the internet while in the capital Honiara.
