Saturday morning
Wow So creative with the post titles these days.
Did you know what happened last night? We had our last ever meal dropped off by Judith, a lady in our churches. Roast chicken, yummy yummy. I haven’t cooked for months. Lucky Hamish ha ha. Seriously though for over 3 months now we have had meals dropped to us on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Most are huge and so Tuesday and Thursday would be leftovers.
You would never believe the stuff we got roast beef, lasanga, curries, mac n cheese, home made pizza, pasta bakes and so much more I can’t remember. Also cakes, puddings, ice cream, biscuits and so much more I can’t remember. All beautiful homemade cooking.
Thanks so much to Joanne for organising it all. Thanks to Rita, Noa, Corina, Anna, Cathie, Nitika, Sue, Mrs Warner, Mireille, Helma, Lynne, Maria, Shona, Mrs Kennedy, Barbara, Mrs Willis, Jacqui, Rosemary, Mrs Chaung, Delwyn, Adele, Michelle, Deb. I think that is everyone, sorry if I forgot you!!
Aria is in a lot of pain this morning and she is crying that her back hurts. This is bad news. Plus she is really tired. I hope things improve for her, it is hard to see her struggle.Â
No go for the KIDS foundation party today. The Docs don’t want her out with the masses unless she is going to wear a mask. And there is no way she is going to do that, plus she is too tired. And I can’t face going without them.
We still have to pack and I am starting to get a bit anxious about it but we will get into it today. The medical stuff is packed so everything else is just clothes and stuff.
We are having a going away Thankgiving service and Afternoon Tea on Sunday afternoon
Covenant Presbyterian Church 77 Rogers Road Manurewa 2.30 – 4.30pm
Sorry to those I haven’t invited personally, I wish I had the time for personal invitations. Please come and say goodbye, we would love to see you!!!

hey guys… can’t believe it is all happening… 3 years really has gone so super fast and yet so slow as well! I afraid we won’t make it tomorrow. Will had a nasty nasty temp during the week and we don’t know what caused it and though he seems over it I don’t want to risk giving it to you guys. I might leave the boys with Nath and quickly pop down and give you a hug though… If I don’t make it, our love and prayers and thoughts are with you and we pray that God may uphold you and provide you with the love and support you will need on your conitnued Journey over in America. I pray that a matching donor will be found fast and that Aria will be on the mend and strong enough after the op. More love and hugs and tears for you guys.
Loads of love

Wish I could come to the Thanksgiving Service. Nevertheless it was good to farewell you on the phone yesterday and our prayers go with you. xxooo. Talk to you once you’re all settled in over there.

Hey Anita,
I am still not 100% and I would hate if any one of you got sick. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of Arias journey so far, I can’t wait to watch her grow into an amazing young woman!! Take care, update us regularly and I will see you when you get back! (Or when I’m next in the States – whatever comes first!!)
Love Ali xoxo

Hamish and Anita,
It’s a blessing to hear of the loving giving of friends who care for you…it’s not easy to be on the receiving end sometime but to encourage others to be able to give we have to receive…
Keep looking to the Lord for all that is to happen….HE knows what the future is and what HE wants you to walk through. It’s unsettling and can be frightening too and we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all through this time.
Praying too that you’ll enjoy the time farewelling family and friend and know that their prayers will go with you.
God’s ways are higher than our ways…..God bless and we’ll keep praying for you and look forward to the updates as they come
With love and prayers

Hi Folks, Sorry we will miss you. We get back on the 8th from Cambodia. We have kept up with your news via the web site. We feel your anguish, but keep going you’re nearly there, although that may still feel along way. We are praying God’s care and protection for you all. MAy God grant you travelling mercies and may you settle well in USA.
