On Saturday a group of Wesleyan women came together and I had prepared stamping card kits for the ladies to complete as well as we had a bible study and shared life together in fellowship . It was a lot of fun!
Secondly we had our first AWANA awards night for 2014 on Sunday. The kids are learning lots of scripture and are really learning how to apply it to their lives. It was a great time for them to show off all they have learnt . I spent an entire two days sewing lanyards so the kids would have something to put their new badges on .
On Monday we had our immigration appointment. We left at 9:30 and arrived home at 2:45. We spent all day in a cramped office having medicals, X-rays, eye exams, our weight taken, blood pressure, physicals, and blood exams. We have now officially turned everything in for our permanent residency and would definitely appreciate your prayers for us to get approved. There is nothing more we can do, it is now a waiting game for the immigration office to make up their minds.
On Tuesday Luke came home from the hospital and is now resting in his own bed! This is amazing considering the original plan was that Luke would be in for a few weeks. Please continue to pray for him to regain his strength and energy and for him to continue to heal quickly. The doctor has actually said he believes he has gotten all of the tumour which is huge!
On Wednesday we partnered with the school and helped them put on an amazing ANZAC service. The school even let Chris do a pastoral prayer at the service.
Today our AWANA group committed our first RAK! Better known as a random act of kindness. All term the kids have been preparing thank you eggs. They have stuffed plastic eggs with words of thanks, kindness, and of course yummy chocolates to say thank you to the teachers of our local primary school. Then we dressed up as an Easter bunny and delivered them secretly! It was a lot of fun, but most importantly hopefully will soften their hearts to hear the word of god.
This is just a normal week of busy here in Australia, but we only accomplish as much as we do because we have an amazing team that prays for us!!! Thank you for your prayers and especially for your financial support. Continue to pray for us this weekend as we have our Easter egg hunt on Sunday at 4:00pm. Pray that the community would hear God speak to them and that families would come and enjoy time together as they participate in activities, and especially as they sit and here our message of the greatest gift ever given to them on Easter is free, as well as we will be showing the veggie tales an Easter carol from 6:00pm onwards. Can't wait to see what god is going to do this weekend.
