It was a busy few days for us. On Friday, a frenzy of activities surrounding the decision to purchase a home in the capital, ended up with us signing the papers, all ready to start the process. Later that night, hearts still slightly palpitating, Tress and I sat down at our favourite local Thai restaurant. We talked about the numerous things we had to do, but we were both thrilled to be on this journey.
On Saturday, after walking the little fellow, I headed to the Steer AGM. It has been wonderful to be part of this organisation which has been a channel of financial support for numerous missions organisations. After the AGM and some lunch, I headed back just before 2pm, went with Tress to get a coffee at the Chase, and then went back home to cook. We had planned to do a veg dish for the dinner at Jason and Mel’s later that night. The roasted Brussels sprouts and cauliflower dish looked not too shabby and was a good countervailing fare to the meaty stuff served up for their “Christmas in July” soiree. Gerry and his family and Lai Fun and his son were also there and it was a really nice evening of eating and catching up. Jason and Mel too are busy preparing themselves to head to Hong Kong, and be with Sammi their daughter and Brandon her husband, who are expecting their first born, Jason and Mel’s first grandchild.
We came back from the dinner pretty late, caught more Olympics on tele, and went to bed late. So, we were late for St Alf’s the next day. Emma Payne spoke about preps for heading out to Nantes in France to work under CMS early next year, and David Williams preached on Acts.
We then headed to Donvale for our usual lunch spot and then went home, took a walk with the little fellow and then I did our usual Sunday cook for the week’s lunches. It had been a busy weekend but our thoughts were just on our mental checklists of the numerous things to do as we look ahead to this new journey we had just dipped our toes into. We are ever so grateful to be heading in that direction, to be closer to Kiddo and her growing family. Daunting and exciting at the same time.
