Back from Canberra
We are back in Sydney now after our trip to Canberra. It was our most intense week of the whole time we will be in Australia, with 13 meetings in 8 days, as well as going to have meals with some friends and getting in a bit of tourism as well. (Stefania finally saw - and patted - her first kangaroo, and now bounces around the house.) It is a lot harder doing all this with a family rather than by myself, but Pinuccia is a great help with the family and with encouraging people to think about mission. She is just as committed to mission as I am. Stefania loved all the changes - each place we visited had new toys and books, so it seemed like every day was her birthday. Daniele coped well also, as well as getting another two teeth and getting a lot closer to walking.
The time in Canberra was useful for encouraging people, and we had some good conversations about mission. And it was good for us to be encouraged and supported as well. Today and tomorrow there are another two meetings and a visit, but after that there will be time to rest again for a few days.
