EASTER EGG HUNT - PRAYERS NEEDED

Pray for the Easter Egg Hunt that is this Saturday from 3-5pm. I am very nervous about it. Unfortunately our crafts have been held up and are not going to get here in time which is a huge disappointment. Luckily we have about 70 of everything left over from last year. So, Chris and I ran around today collecting some last minute ideas.  Please pray that our box would APPEAR in Perth today. For some reason it has been held up in Singapore and we still need it to clear their customs as well as Australia customs before it will get here. And in Australia Mail is not delivered on Saturdays.  The craft items were ordered weeks ago, but sometimes this is just what happens! :(

However, Pray that we would have new people come and that their hearts would be softened to hear the message God is going to use me to bring on Saturday.

Pray also that we would have enough helpers and be able to pull the event off with all the glory going to God!

Bible Study

Thursday nights we are meeting together with 5 people for a Bible Study called a New Creation. We have met twice so far and have another 4 sessions.  It is written by our DS Lindsay Cameron and we are really excited so far in the questions and conversations we have been having with this group. Pray that these people would come to know Christ and that they would draw close to Him and realize that they need Him to be the one true God they worship.

New Insulin Pump

Today Chris met with his rep for the new diabetes pump he will hopefully get. She mentioned that they should be replaced every three years and that he has had his nine which is just incredible!   But, the time has really come that he needs to upgrade. The insurance company has been fantastic and has given him three green light and apparently will cover 100% of the cost of the new pump. Please pray with us that he will get the new pump smoothly and that he will be able to switch over to the new pump with no dramas or problems along the way.

Landsdale Neighbour Day

Today our church partnered with the Landsdale Residents Association.   Chris spends alot of time building relationships with people in the community. One of the ways he does that is by sitting on the Landsdale Community Residents Association Committee. 5 years ago when they really wanted one he stepped up and played the role of president. Then, a lovely person named Jessica came along and she fit the role and would do a fantastic job so Chris kindly stepped aside and has stayed on the committee so the church can have a hand at helping within the community.  

Today was all about getting our name out there and building bridges to get to know people. We let the Residents association use our sound equipment and we sold drinks while many other community groups also participated such as the playgroup association ( Melissa is on their committee) as well as the Footy club and various other community groups. There were about 400-500 people that participated. Chris worked hand in hand with all the groups making sure the days performances by the school, drama groups etc went smoothly and I sold drinks, handed our information about our church and had people pre-register for our Easter Egg Hunt next weekend. It was a really fun day and Brayden actually limped around quite a bit! He made it from the hall down about 50 metres to go play some games! So, he is already improving!

BRAYDEN IS 3!

BRAYDEN IS 3

Today  we had Brayden's 3rd birthday party. He invited 5 little friends from Playgroup to come celebrate with him. We decorated fruit boxes from the market to look like cars 2 cars and the kids raced around the yard. I got Brayden up on his feet for this picture but unfortunately he couldn't actually limp along and carry the box. His leg and ankle are still quite stiff. But, he was in pretty good spirits for the day!

Seems crazy and hard to believe all at the same time that Brayden is already 3!   I think Brayden turning 3 is scary enough just in itself because in less than a year he will be going to public school here in Australia and that seems totally crazy to me! He is our last little bub so he in our minds is just so little! 
He is an adventurous, wild, crazy boy who loves Jesus very much! I praise God for him and we are truly blessed!

WA Family Camp 2012

FAMILY CAMP!
Family Camp was a blast! 70 of us came together to camp it out and have an awesome weekend together as the WA Wesleyan Methodist church family!  It was truly a fantastic weekend full of fellwship, fun, growth in who we are in Christ, and did I mention alot of fun!

  Dawson the very first night got eaten by  and we are not exaggerating atleast 100 mosquito bites. The poor boy itched ALL weekend. He looked so bad that the campground manager gave him free mosquito wristband to keep the mosquitos away. They were basically like cat flea collars! :) Brayden survived the EXTREME heat with his cast and Makayla had a blast with her friends!

It was a very busy weekend for Chris and I as we were in charge of lots of different parts over the weekend. But,   we also were attending with our family and trying to play that role as well! :)   We had 7 families from the Landsdale church attend the camp in the end and it was TRULY exciting!




Melissa did a great job with the kids programs. We did five Kids sessions. Each session had a theme, craft, songs, and Bible story to connect it all together. As well as we did a huge tie-dye session as a fun family craft.  This was not any little task. Tie-dying in a campground was alot of work! And,my hands were red, blue, and green, for days!!!      Chris organized family games, outings, and youth sessions.  Pastor Phil organized all the food and it was yum!  Rev. Lindsay Cameron flew in from Melbourne (five hour flight) he is our D.S. and spoke for our main camp sessions. He spoke all weekend on priesthood and God spoke to everyone in our church! It was a wonderful time. Everyone can't wait till next year! 


Because of your prayers God was there and working on us and helping us and molding us! We appreciate all your support and prayers that made this weekend possible!
