Visitors and visiting
We’ve been enjoying the company of two Belgian tourists we met on the way down to Dunedin who came to stay with us this week. Lots of fun and a chance to share some good conversations about God also. Being a student at the School of Ministry has been opening doors for us in many ways!
God continues to bless us. We had a lovely night away in Oamaru with my mum and dad and enjoyed Abby’s dedication in Timaru followed by a neat family BBQ time. We are all enjoying the chance to spend time with the McLeod side of the family. I also managed to make a start on recording some family history stories with dad – finally!
We came back laden with produce from Mum’s garden but there was another bonus as another SOM family had been blessed with the offerings from their support churches Harvest Thanksgiving. There was too much for them so they shared it around the 14 families, which has made a difference to the food budget this week.
Today we heard about another lot of “free” firewood i.e. cut it and split it and haul it yourself. But it’s all good! By the time we need it, it should have dried out sufficiently. And it is pine which burns hot and fast…when it’s dry!
Our curtains disappeared last week but have returned this week, in some cases twice as thick! We are certainly feeling warmer and I don’t it is just a placebo effect!
We are looking forward to seeing Dad again on Thursday who is staying before an early start from Dunedin airport tomorrow day trip to Wellington. And we saw Anna twice already this week, once for shopping on Monday night and again this afternoon as we were all heading home from lectures. So, all in all, lots of family stuff this week.
