Some Photos

At the start of the week we said goodbye to Gordon Darragh (the Mission Director) and David Hamill (a believer from NI who had been travelling with him to see the work). Each time we have visitors it is always a blessing to have them and to be reminded of the love, support and prayers of many people back home in Northern Ireland and indeed in varios parts of the world. The visit was a really good visit from our perspective (and hopefully from theirs too!) and after almost a week of constant conversation and almost constant laughing the empty house seemed so much more quiet.





The quietness of the house was added to very soon after the visitors left as most of us fell sick with a stomach bug. (Gordon claimed it was a reaction against the visitors leaving and that they should have stayed longer!) Fortunately it seemed to affect Alicia and I for a short period of time but Sarah seemed to pick up the bug a little later than us and is still off school , although she should be back on her feet again soon. Fortunately Joel seems to have managed to keep himself healthy and remains his happy, bubbly self.









Since we had not posted for a while and had not posted any photos for even longer we decided we would add a few recent ones just so you can see how big and grown up Joel and Sarah are getting and how young and youthful Alicia and I still are! Enjoy!

Sorry Dave - you look as if you have aged about 10 years! Mind you I don't let people take photos of me! (Sorry - wrong-my good friend Abi stole the camera out of my hand at our funday and took a shot of me!
Great to see you all looking so well.
God Bless

Can't believe you think I look 33! The kids in Sunday school guessed I was 17! Someone has it wrong somewhere and I will settle for that being you! Waiting for the email with the photo of you that Abi took....
