On our own

Today, the Chapmans began their leg of the voyage. We moved into their lovely home and it is quiet. We've spent almost all of our time with them the last few days here in their house. Now, it is quiet. We are praying for safe travel for our new friends.

Today began my first day with Peter's responsibilities. I began by helping lead Bible class at the public elementary school in Gerringong. 


Technical difficulties followed me as my computer projected everything in a blue-ish tent. After some administrative work and our first trip to the grocery store (American mustard costs $3.50) I was off to BiG: Boys in Gerringong. 

They meet every Wednesday night school is in session from 6:30-8pm. They play games, have a speaker, pray, do an activity, then play until 8. It's a lot of fun. From kindergarten to 4th grade (year 4). 

For those of you wondering, they do have GiG (Girls in Gerringong) which meets at the same time. 

Thoughts are with all those who travel today and everyday, by land, sea, or air and all of our friends back home.

Hi Thomas, Leslie and Davis!! I am so glad to hear that you guys got to the Chapman's home safely, and were able to spend some time with them before they headed "our way", to ATL, GA! Jeff and I will look forward to meeting them this Sunday, at church. Please know that you will remain in our prayers, during your ministry in Austrailia. I look forward to reading your blog and keeping up with this wonderful adventure! Sending love and prayers your way! Ann Upshaw
