Farewell Australia, Hello Chiang Mai

On Sunday evening we had a very special family dinner to say Goodbye to Granny!

Thank you family for making the effort! I am blessed to have such a gorgeous family.

And at 11.30 pm I got on a plane to fly to Thailand

The next day I was having lunch in Chiang Mai with Kristi and Lana plus Jik and Golf from the YFC Asia Pacific team. How amazing is our world today?!! And how thrilled I am to be part of what God is doing here.

Rwanda at last!

At last we are here in Rwanda. No more sleeps! The welcome has been amazing and there have been some wonderful reunions with many old friends. 

Sue is having a ball and adjusting brilliantly to life here. She loves the African sense of time and quieter pace. And so do I! After the hectic pace before we left Australia, this is such a welcome change. I’m sure we will thrive. Here is Sue outside the Rwanda YFC office.

Yesterday we exchanged some US dollars we had brought with us. As there are 600 Rwanda francs for every Aussie dollar, when we came from the money exchange place we looked as if we had robbed a bank!

We also got a local SIM card and so now we are connected locally. If you want to call or sms on that Rwandan number, probably using Skype, please email me for the number.
