Dear Family & Friends,

Many things have happened since we shared with you that all the paper work for Tasmania was received. My Passport was sent off to the Australian embassy so it could be officially evidenced that I am a permanent immigrant of Australia. Our plane tickets were purchased. Our boxes, mostly of books, were picked up by my movers and should be currently truck bound to California and then to Taz via sea freighter.

The Lord Jesus Christ has once again proved that He is Sovereign over all and that all things in heaven and earth must work together for the expansion of His Kingdom and the benefit of His people. Martha and I are thankful to see the hand of the Lord moving so powerfully in our lives and we await to see what other blessings He has in store for us.

The Lord willing, Martha and I will be flying out for Taz on December 28. We hope to meet in California and then fly to Taz together arriving December 30. We are both eager to go and I am very thankful the Lord has allowed us to come to Taz together. It is important to me to share this with her, to give her this opportunity to meet our new church family, get a feel for Taz, and see our wonderful new home (the Montifiore Manse) before we are married July 21, 2007 at 10am, DV.

Thanks be to our Lord who does great things and who will never leave us nor forsake us!

Love through Christ,
terry

Terry and Martha,
Some questions re this posting:
1. Do you have your wedding Tazers yet?
2. So, Terry, you reckon Martha will be there at 10am? Remember the bride's right to be more than a little late - think 10.30 to 11 ... hehehe

Martha said...

Nathan & Jaslyn: What's a wedding Tazer?!
Loretta: What are you painting? I didn't know you painted.
Esther: Don't cry yet, dear! You're going to want to save all the hysteria for vacation. Unless you want some wedding drama. I can just see the headlines: "Four bridesmaids run sobbing from the church!" lol

Just letting everyone know that Terreth and Martha touched down safely in Launceston today.

They were tired and a little confused about what day it was (they skiped Friday completely) but were very happy to be here.

Hopefully we dont make them change their mind about that. :)
