Thank you for your prayers – we arrived back at our house in Wellington at 11:30pm on Sunday after an uneventful journey. Since then, we’ve had many problems with the car battery (bought a new one today) so we’re very thankful that nothing went wrong on the journey to and from Cape Town airport. Thank God too for several kind friends at this end who’ve helped us in all sorts of ways.
It always takes a while to settle back in (jumping between two worlds whilst still having one foot in the old one is never easy) but we know who is with us and that he never changes, he is the constant rock on whom all our hopes are founded. Pray that we’ll be alert to the old and new ways in which he directs us.
Just now the 2 cats and 1 dog are in the house, 3 tortoises have been spotted, the substantial indoor termite mounds have been swept away and sprayed and the incipient ceiling mould has been bleached. Fraser’s gone back to his office and is thankful that so far, he hasn’t been buried under an avalanche of emails (perhaps that’ll be next week). Dawn is wearing her keep-warm ski suit around the house and starting to put together material for the next prison Bible studies whilst being glad the car is now reliable, so she’ll be able to visit contacts soon – life is getting back to normal in Wellington!
Please pray that we’ll keep our attention fixed on the Lord in all aspects of life and know his joy.
