I have had a milestone birthday-the big '40' and spent it outdoors at Longleat, in the pouring rain! It was a great day out and everyone had fun, despite the weather.
It was also great preparation for getting used to some of the creepy crawlies we may come across in Arnhem Land.
Alexandra surprised me by wishing to hold, and handle, every kind of creepy crawly she could find. I just hope that we don't see too many snakes and spiders in Australia!
The great news is that we are almost fully supported.
We now have almost 200 on our prayer support list, and if all the financial help that has been promised is given, we will have reached the minimum that we need before we can go.
Praise the Lord!
We are trying to raise a further 10% before we depart as our support level decreases in December, but this isn't going to stop us.
We are off...
We hope to be leaving this country sometime in late June to begin our training in Melbourne. After that, we are to continue our training in Cairns for a week before finally arriving in Gove in August. Our anxiety over school places and start dates have been resolved. All of the children now have places guaranteed for their start dates in August. This is a real answer to pray.
A BIG thank you to ALL of you who we know have been praying for an answer to our children's schooling issues.
It is so humbling to know that you are all praying for us.
More updates soon.
All our Love
Rachel, Charley, William, Alexandra, Georgie & Freddie.
