Today has been a great day at the church service in the morning followed by lunch with Calvin and Lilly Robinson and then door to door outreach in Sunshine Canyon.

Our schedule is getting pretty busy now which is great.  Tomorrow we meet the Mayor!

Greetings to Salvo!

 

Hi Salvo home there in Thundersley ... here we are posing with the cards that you kindly gave us.  We were all touched by your kind thoughts and just wanted to give you a mention.

Day 1 - Part 2

After a scenic tour we managed to find the fleamarket where the good folk of \Joshua Generation for Jesus had already set up a canopy and stand for our outreach.  So we unloaded all our goodies - tea bags, Hobnobs, balloons and hung our banner up. 

We were soon in business with children crowding around excited about the balloons with their parents and grandparents blown away that we were giving away 'free' tea and biscuits!

We struck up some great conversations and were even able to pray with some of the folk who came by.

Although it was a little overcast at the start when the sun burned through the clouds it was extremely hot and sunny. 

We gave out lots of invitations to the families to come along to the fun day and soccer school that is planned for Labour Day as well as invitations to the services here at the church.  Some folk may even come along to a service we are holding right up on the north side of 'rhe Rez' later in our time here as we found out that the people at the market travel some distance to it from all over the reservation. 

We left after a number of hours and had a Subway before heading back to unpack our boxes and prep for Sunday until Tuesday.  We had a 'little' rest and then met up with the church folk for devotions and a Navajo Taco meal followed by rehearsal of dramas and songs.

Finally at about 8.30pm we made our first visit to Walmart - only short as we were pretty worn out to say the least.

Arrived!

Phew!  Finally arrived after 30 hours of being awake and travelling!  We rolled into the car park at Joshua Generation for Jesus greeted my Dennis and Peewee.  It was actually 3.45am Gallup time - although we all thought it was 2.45am as we had crossed and then recrossed a time zone through Arizona.

We had to keep swapping drivers as we travelled north from Phoenix on the Interstate 17 and then picked up the Interstate 40 (Route 66) heading back east from Flagstaff to Gallup.

Our hosts have done us proud with beds all made, lots of extra bathrooms and beds and living areas, breakfast room etc.

One prayer need is for Margaret who lost her phone on the flight.  We think a helpful hostess who lifted her bag into the locker may have tipped it out by accident.

We quickly got to bed and set our alarms for 7 so that we can get to work straight away at the flea market - so here we are eating bagels and prepping for our first outreach.

More news to come later today.

Day 1

It is 8.25am and we are in a cafe at Heathrow with bags checked and boarding passes at the ready!

Thanks to Tony Cable, who drove us over with no hold ups we were early to check in.

And thank you for all the texts and 'likes' on Facebook, comments etc, keep them coming, it really is a blessing.
