What d'ya think of these cheeky faces??
So many things have been going on in the last couple of weeks that it would take a large chunk of your day to read it! So I won't ... I'll do the smart thing - Bullet Points!
* We started our itinerary on September 3rd. Meant to be a couple of weeks before that, but the printers could not get the literature on time. To be honest, we needed those extra few weeks! But feeling better, stronger and coherant now!
* Listen to this for crazy: Finished the printing of some of the leaflets at 3:30am on Saturday ... went to bed and got up at 5:30am to start our itinerary. Drove 3hrs to Whitburn, did our presentation and then had a 45 minute bite to eat before driving 2 hrs north to Aberdeen. Did our presentation, had coffee with Mary's brother and drove 1 hr home to Fraserburgh. Mad. Really mad. Don't advise it, but achieved it!
* Aberdeen AoG - what a place! Amazing! The building is an old traditional church, but Iaian and the gang have totally refurbished it. (Totally=100%!). The front of the building is truly beautiful - automatic glass doors looking out on to the main street. You can see as well as hear the people worshipping as you walk by! The service was amazing - great music and a packed church! They were so receptive and were challenged by what the Lord put on our hearts to say. Well done Aberdeen .. you guys are doing brilliant.
* Big thanks to our agents Norman & Gillian - they have been working hard behid the scenes to get everything ready for itineray.
* AoG Weekend - September 8-10 in Aviemore. Great to see 600 people get together for a God weekend. Met almost everyone I wanted to meet in one go. It took mary over one hour to reach our table for the evening dinner... she was speaking to everyone (even the Lithuanian waitress!) What a girl. Phil Baker from Oz was speaker. Very funny and witty.
Example: How many men does it take to change the toilet roll?
Answer: Dunno, it's never been done!
* Dundee - We had to get an extremely early breakfast on Sunday so we could make the long trip to Dundee AoG. Lovely drive down the A9 ... breathtaking. Blessed by what God is doing with Des & Sharon in Dundee. So many new people meeting in the big hall. Many young people and different spirit there now. Encouraging.
* Camera - at last! I now have a new Canon Ixus 800IS camera. Lovely. Look out for some noce shots. Tested it out at my favourite place - Gardenstown (Gamrie for the uncultured). Look how beautiful this place is in pictures below!
* David & Wilma Flett - yesterday Mary's mumk & dad came down for Wick. Wilma is 60 today - Happy Birthday. She is now officially an OAP, but don't tell her! Had a good day but tomorrow we will celebrate with the whole family - family portrait, special meal etc. Roll on!
* TB Clinic - if I have to see that place one more time I will scream very loudly! We went through to Aberdeen on Friday afternoon for me and Mary's check up, through again on Monday for Lydia's test and through again today for Josiah's appointment. Why can't they realise that we are actually a family who live in the same house! We can actually organise ourselves to drive through together on the same day!!! But good news - Lydia has no TB and the Specialist is very happy with Josiah. Praise the Lord.
Well, that's us about up to date. One of these weeks I am going to get my act together and do a few blogs in a row! Don't believe me???

Hey guys,

Nice picture. Lydia and Josiah, Aunty tina is so happy to see your picture.
Hi Kuya Mark, nice to hear from you through blog. I agree with you, why didn't they realise that you are one family and leaving in one place, he, he, he,. Maybe they want to see your beautiful family always if possible.
Praying for you all...
