Our plans are coming together despite my foolishness...Was it really a month since our last update? I bet you haven’t had the time to read it yet eh? How time flies... Well, this one will be much shorter and should only require a few sips of your favourite beverage and a little something to munch on. You might even have time to read it before you fly out of the door … It’s only two months now until we leave for Perth to begin the Foundations for Counselling Ministry School with YWAM. Yesterday I booked the flights for myself (Carol), Phoebe and Jethro and somehow managed to get a really good deal from the lady at Virgin Australia. After an initial quote of $830, she came back with a final amount of $700. Even the best internet deals couldn’t match that. With everything finalized and confirmed I excitedly showed Chris the itinerary. His response… “You’ve booked your flights for a week too soon!” Mad panic ensued as I got back on the phone. Thankfully I was able to change the dates without incurring the usual $60 per person a fee. Our paperwork for funding to cover our tuition fees is also being processed. We should get a result on that soon. We have sold two old laptops to cover a bit more of our travel fees and we are preparing items for a garage/car boot sale too. Slowly but surely we are getting there. It also looks like we have a YWAM family to live in our home while we are away which will cover half of our rent and hopefully really bless them too. So, we still need to plan a route for Chris to drive, keep fundraising, pack and clean the house and wait for October. If only there will also be the million and one other things that seem to crop up each week... Watch this space... |
