Leaving...and arriving!

Hi everyone,

We've arrived!

We left Lobethal (from Sarah's parent's house) at roughly 10am, and with a quick stop in Mt Barker to pick up the all important car charger for the phone, were on our way (with one very full car!).

The trip was very smooth, and by 5.30pm (Adelaide time) we had arrive in Sunbury at Stephen's parent's house.

It's a very strange feeling to be staying here and yet not be on holidays (well, not officially). Like a strange time warp, waiting for something to begin (cue West Side Story's 'Something's Coming'....)

Tomorrow sees us unpacking the container, so we'll probably post pics and more info on Thursday.

For now, I hope this'll be tradition, I'll leave you with some prayer and praise points:

Praise points:
- For safe, uneventful travel.
- For the amazing fuel economy of our car! (700km on 42 litres!!).
- That God continues to sustain us and is always moving before us.
- For the volunteers helping us unpack the container tomorrow.

Prayer points:
- That the unpacking of the container would flow smoothly.
- If things are broken, Sarah wouldn't be too disappointed (and take it as a reminder that this world and its material possessions are but temporary!!)
- That we would settle quickly into our new home and be able to find a church home quickly.
