Wednesday 7.33pm

The third group have now left. It never seems to get much easier saying goodbye. Right on cue almost as soon as they left a huge storm looks like engulfing the place. The sky has darkened big time and the thunder is rumbling.

Nature seems to speak much louder of Gods power over here or maybe it’s just that we’re more receptive in this environment.

As usual I now have to square the circle of going off to America on holiday next month – moving from one Universe to the other. It always leaves me feeling guilty.

We’ve made new friends this time as always, a lot of little ones who have lit up our lives. But we’ve also consolidated a lot of older friendships, friendships which are now five years old. We’ve earner the right to speak into lives. But I think in many ways they speak into our lives almost as much.

In the early days we are tempted to think that in bringing our wealth we are doing all the favours – actually we have so much to learn from them about community. I will miss them dearly.
