Hello all!
OK... its hard to imagine that tomorrow we will be winging our way across nine countries again on the way to our homes in Auckland.
We arrive back in Auckland at around 1:20pm Thursday so if anyone wants to come out to the airport then we would love to see you... We are arriving with Thai Airlines from Bangkok.
So.... what of the trip...?
What have we achieved...
What things have we done...?
I have tried hard to keep up to date with the blog but fell terribly behind... we have seen so much... felt so involved and shed more than a few tears along the way. We have made friends outside and within the group. Some people who we never knew before are now like sisters and brothers... people have understood each other better... have learnt to get along and have learnt to trust God in a far more literal way.
From meeting the beautiful kids at PPJ to tonight's markets in Chiang Mai... from the brilliant schools to the beautiful Hmong people who touched the very core of our hearts... from the wonderful temples to the amazing Mekong river trip... from the sun rising over the hills of Laos to the Son rising in our hearts... and from love to understanding... so what have we achieved.?
Perhaps in 1 2 3 4.. maybe 6 months time I'll personally be able to answer that... but I can say with honesty that God has been with this group and done some wonderful things for our group, for the kids of PPJ and for our church family and community.
God has been alive and in our hearts, moving us through the holy spirit to achieve Christ's work. We have not been perfect or right all of the time however we have been true to the commission that the church bestowed upon us.
Thankyou, thankyou thankyou... This has been an experience that we will never forget. I have promised that I will return and with God's blessing I will along with I suspect all of our group.
See you all real soon
