Finally! The kids went back to school - and believe it or not I miss them out in the ministry with me. I know crazy huh? But a few older brothers and sisters have come up to me this week and asked where they were and actually missed them too! At dinner I passed on their sentiments to Axel and Mikalya and they assured me that they plan to be out next holidays.
Needless to say I'm moving along in the planning stage so the next couple of months I will be playing catch up. Speaking of planning I have been researching (PINTEREST) ideas for Melbourne International Convention and cute gifts for delegates - see some of my hand made ideas here http://www.pinterest.com/urbanfresh/hand-made-gifts/
If you dont have pinterest check out some of these ideas!
Cookies! Everybody loves cookies!
I liked this too - could do seasoned salts....
Other ideas were map bangles/necklace or magnets I also like the idea of a luggage tag with a note inside and the Convention details printed on it.... I also saw fabric tract holders for our new tracts! My girfriend Blanche is making handmade soap and wrapping it in delighteful paper! So many ideas must have the sisters around and have a crafting session and make a plan...
So remember my call Joan? Ok well I called back on her and her house is under offer so she will be moving! I know! Anyway I took the goodnews brochure and said to her that she will need some reading material as she travels around Australia for 6 months before deciding where to live. I said "You know Joan Jehovahs Witnesses are everywhere and they will find you if you want to be found," and she replied "I know Kris I know"... It was then we some how got on the subject of blood and this is the experience she related to me..
Joan said" I must tell you something Kris, when I was in the hospital giving birth to Denella, it got complicated and I had to have a Ceasa and I lost a lot of blood... All I remember the Dr saying was what ever you do don't give her a blood transfusion (in a typical aussie accent) coz shes a Jehovahs' Witness. Well later when the nurse asked me she said I didnt know you where a Jehovahs' Witness - I said I'm not" ... I think there's something in that Kris "
Im going to miss Joan but we've promised to keep in touch via email - hopefully our friendship will pave a way for Appolos to water and Jehovah to make it grow - it may not happen over night but it will happen, it's all in the planning......
