Dear friends & family,

Sorry we have not been posting as schedule over the last couple of weeks. Martha spent a lot of time organizing pictures for a post and then faced some technical difficulties. She would've finished the post last week but we have been in Hobart.

We stayed with Pastor Ian Smith and his wife Mary. I had a wonderful opportunity Friday to take a chapel at the Seabrook Christian school. I also took the Communion preparatory service Saturday night, the Communion, the services, and a Youth Group meeting. We drove back Monday in time to visit some families from another church and a family visiting them from Grand Rapids. It was a blessed time.

Today, Tuesday, has been a good but busy day-and it is barely half over. Chatting with family, four loads of laundry, cooking a few dishes for various activities, several phone calls, e-mails, internet searches, and a little bit of everything talking with the US consulate in Melbourne in regards to Martha's immigration and name change, and baby's birth certificate, social security number, and passport. All we have left is for Martha to finish with family, continue some cooking, watching a pregnancy exercise video, pack for the drive down to Hobart, and go to the library. I will finish this post, cook dinner, review for the Bible study, and then we're off to the Bible study.

Wednesday we hope to visit Port Arthur. Thursday a few families from the congregation in Hobart, and then Friday through Sunday the SPC church camp.

Lord willing their will be more posts coming next week and their should be plenty of pictures.

Thanks for your patience.

Love through Christ,

terry & Martha

Dear Terry and Martha

I haven't been to your blog for a while, but was pleasantly surprised this morning looking at the beautiful pictures there (someone has definately got talent in the photography field there!) and by reading up on your lives down under. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into the privacy of your home and lives. It was wonderful. We pray all goes well as you look forward to the birth of your precious baby. We are doing well. Just putting up with much BC rain this winter. We were blessed with quite a bit of snow as well, which I love! Take care dear friends, and God bless.
With love Henry and Jenny Jansen

Thanks all! We are certainly keeping busy... and are glad that the occasional posts are enjoyed.

Feel free to send some rain this way from British Columbia! :) We've had a very dry year over here.
