{HUGS} CD.

Just spent a lovely day with NQGU and Father Peter. Got back about 15 mins ago. She says to say "hi" to everyone, she can't because her PC is broken at home.

CaptainDippy · 19/10/2009 19:14

Ooooh, hi to NQGU - she is lovely indeed Glad you had a super day!

Hi there ladies! I'm back!! (Jetlagged to the nth degree, but fine!)

The news is ... we're not going! It's just too dangerous a situation to put our kids into. We had a fabulous week, the place really resonated with us, but it just isn't a situation for a young family from middle-class Britain! The gunfire at night pretty much summed that up for me.

Not sure where we go from here - we still want to work in Latin America. But no idea where, with who, doing what .... so please pray as we consider the next step.

Gunfire!!?

Blimey, yes, I agree with you.

Prayers continuing for all

DutchOma · 20/10/2009 08:59

Oh Weegiemum, that must be a huge disappointment for you. But praise God that you have had the courage to see the dangers amd have made the decisions with your family in mind. Every blessing

CaptainDippy · 20/10/2009 10:11

So proud of you WM Prayers for a new direction to come apparent asap ....

amber thats a very thoughtful wise thing to remember when I'm feeling far from God. It's not His doing but mine

O busy growling behind me, think his teeth are pestering him

Can we have some prayers for ShelleyLou - she's a lovely MNer and lost her little brother (aged 22) yesterday

DutchOma · 20/10/2009 14:55

What a terrible blow, what happened?

And how are you?

alwayslookingforanswers · 20/10/2009 14:59

her thread is here - I've also seen the story on the BBC news website

I'm doing ok, feel really bad about poor Shell though - we fell out before the weekend, my fault for being crap at keeping in contact with her, and now this has happened to her.

CaptainDippy · 20/10/2009 15:37

Oh gosh Will pray. xx

How awful . Praying for ShelleyLou and her family

Am feeling tired, had a busy day. Read the lesson at a funeral today, but was asked to act as crucifer (cross-carrier), which is usually carried out by a strapping 16yo boy - I'd never done it before, and managed to survive without tripping up, but my arms ache. I also had to write the lead article for the village newsletter!

shelleylou · 20/10/2009 17:04

just wanted to come and say thank you for your prayers

notsofarnow · 20/10/2009 19:25

Hi not been around for a while again but just wanted to say at this present time things are good. Please pray that for me a corner has been turned and that the ugliness of depression which I believe is all related to the last few years of living hell is behind me. Pray that i learn to manage the stress that will no doubt come my way again soon.

The girls and I are off to Turkey for a week tomorrow, I need the break if I can get organised.

DutchOma · 20/10/2009 19:27
