What a week!

Our Visa's are here.
Praise the Lord!
After a few challenges it is such a relief to have them.

Before they came it had been a funny old few weeks...
A mix of highs and lows!


They have included visiting old friends and catching up with their news. Making new friends while sharing with them the calling that we have to work with M.A.F. All rounded off by fitting in a trip up to Cumbria to visit Charley's parents.

At the end of half term there was the inevitable mad rush to pack and get ready to go away while still trying to fit in swimming clubs , music lessons and of course we needed to wash the dog "Molly " before an eight hour car journey on the M5 /6 with her. At least she smelt nice!



Fortunately it was not too bad travelling up, but the return journey was not so good. Rain, sleet and snow for most of the way. I'm so glad I wasn't driving!
It was lovely to meet some new people while away from a church in Broughton-In-Furness who were very interested to hear about the work we will be involved with in Arnhem Land. It was also a week filled with long, cold wet walks (See photographs) but was contrasted with good food and drink, fun and laughter, which more than made up for the total drenching we all received on one of our walks.






Visa challenges and a broken laptop screen are all things sent to try us! We must be on the right path. Praise the Lord...
Now we have our Visa's all these hiccups seem insignificant.

We have a few more talks to give at various churches and home groups and are spending most of our time catching up with supporters and updating newsletters and face book.
We are now excited about moving forward in God's will, keep praying!
All our love Rachel, Charley and the children.
