Almost there...


Almost there...

Dear Supporters,
 
Our plans have, amazingly, NOT changed since our previous update and we are extremely thankful that things have worked out very well. Apart from a pre-booked airport to hotel transfer that cancelled last minute (a taxi off the curb worked out a quarter of the price in the end), our travel to Dublin went without a hiccup. We arrived with all our luggage and the hotel near the airport was a perfect first stop. We could walk across the road to buy carseats and whatever we would need for the journey in to our cottage. The car we bought from Northern Ireland arrived as described and promised
After a good night's sleep and a great breakfast, it was time to put my Tetris skills to the test and get all 15 pieces of luggage and the 4 of us into our new car. At some point, I thought I would need to go across the road to get a roof box fitted, but the S-Max kept on taking more and more. With everything loaded, we set off to 'Scattery View' Cottage near the west coast of Ireland. Getting out of Dublin meant we could save a lot on accommodation and get into the beautiful Irish countryside. 

It has been a wonderful time exploring (lots of playgrounds) and spending time as a family together after some busy months leading up to this. The boys showed great patience with us when mommy and daddy was often busy packing, planning and arranging things. So, thanks to Covid, we had this buffer-time as a family before getting into the new business of starting life in England.
After seven nights in the west, we traveled south (through Tipperary as it wasn't such a long way to go) and have spent the last couple of nights on the south coast. Tomorrow (Monday) morning at 5am we leave for the ferry port at Rosslare (2 hours away) from where we will cross over to Wales (4+ hour crossing) and then drive on to Kimbolton (5 hours). So, it will be a long day with many 'are we there yet's...

We really appreciate each and every prayer for us of the past weeks, months and years. Please continue to do so as the journey is not over yet and then we will be on a new journey as God calls us to live and serve in England.
Thanksgiving for:
- hassle free travel to Ireland 
- the car we bought online, arrived as arranged and we are very happy with it
- wonderful 10 days in Ireland as a family together
- good health, not one of us have had as much as a runny nose.
- we have been able to get affordable rent for 5 months near Oxford through Shunem trust, which is set up to assist missionaries on furlough or relocating!

Please Pray for:
- a safe trip from Ireland to Cambridge 
- everything to work out getting into the UK.
- the process of settling into new life in England.
