Crazy weekend

Preached in Timaru this weekend after a weird week weather wise, lots of squally sleety, snowy showers blasting their way across the city, and then rushed back for Valedictory service. It was good to be there to see Silvia Purdie, and Sue Fenton and Jono Ryan complete their training. Yay.

The children enjoyed the fire works in Timaru, especially Katarina who made friends with the neighbors beagle, which is her all time favorite animal breed. There was a great game of volleyball on the church lawn while we waited for darkness to descend, and the neighbors even brought over the rest of their fireworks for us to set off. Brilliant.

The next few weeks continue with all sorts of extras building up for the end of the year - weddings, ballet concerts and the world premiere of Zach's first composition. Cool!
