Had lunch with Gunning (AE Aus) on Fri, he's going to Uganda June-July, it was great catching up!
On Saturday night went to M28 at SMBC. It was a great reminder of the opportunities that are out there.
Last night a mate from church reminded me that he was interested in going on a short term to Africa.
These 3 things have made my heart burn for Africa once again. Anita & myself are looking forward to the doors God will open for us to serve him.
"Here am I. Send me!" (Isa 6:8)

Praise:

# M28.
# That people are passionate about ministry & mission.

Prayer:
# Essays - only 2 more! (JV)
# Wedding less than 40 days.
# That God raises up people to do his work.
# That God burdens people's hard for mission.

Anita & myself go back to "The Shire" on the weekends and stay with my parents, this way we can catch up with family, friends and go to church. On Saturday night we had a quiet one. Perry(dad), Bev(mum), Scott(brother), Anita & me played Settlers of Catan, a board game where you build stuff to try & reach 10 points first. It goes fair good.

# Preaching at 5pm on 21st, May. (JV)
# Teaching is going well. (AH)

This is a roof I pitched with a mate a while ago. In Tas I worked 3 days with Anita's dad and I did some skirting last Saturday. Doing these jobs has made me realise how much I miss building. It has been great doing the odd jobs, keeping my hands at it. Hope to continue to keep the hands tough!

Praise:
# Holidays Anita had.
# Build jobs I have done.
# Wedding prep going to plan.

Prayer:
# Essays. (JV)
# Preaching at 5pm on 21st, May. (JV)
# Term 2 planning. (AH)
