Well it's 14 days and counting....after more than a year of thinking and planning I am still not all organised and quite ready to go yet!
Work is taking up the great majority of my time and the race towards getting everything finished before I clock off on the 22nd is speeding up.
I had a BCC commitee meeting on this past Saturday and it was in the back of my mind the whole time that this would be my last one till the new year....next time I sit in Lance and Ella's front room my personal perspective on the issues we deal with shall be changed dramatically. If nothing else, I hope this trip helps me better serve the committe when I get back.
Another event at Lance and Ella's this past weekend was Milly popped over after the meeting and signed up to sponsor a child! Mill (my 2nd youngest sister) is studying Occupational Therapy and her course work is very time consuming, so much that she is unable to work regularly, so she's not exactly cashed up, making her sponsorship mean all the more. The boy she picked is called John Baptist (dude of a name - I love it) so that means Suze and I will be adding him to our special list of kids we'll get to visit with gifts and love sent care of us from thier sponsors - I feel kind of gulity about all the joy and excitement we will have directed at us just because we are the ones handing them out...we have plans to video as much as possible so everyone who is trusting us with thier precious messages will witness the excitement of them being received.
talk to you all soon, Love Lib
