Bonnie Scotland

Well, a week can see a lot of changes. We finally packed the last box, finished a few little DIY jobs, got into the car and headed for Scotland. Thanks for your prayers for the journey. Once again they were evident particularly in a lovely day and wonderfully behaved kids.

What a wonderful welcome. Once again we have been overwhelmed by the love and support of friends as we have re-connected with people we haven't seen in a while in Edinburgh.

We are staying with a kind friend and are blessed with two bedrooms in her home. We continue to trust that in God's time He will see that our house in N. Ireland is sold and we will be able to buy here. Of course, we would love that to be soon - it will be nice to eventually be in the village and to settle into our routine without extra travel to and from the city centre.

Our furniture and boxes should hopefully now arrive on Tuesday morning and most will go into storage until we have our own home. It will be interesting to see how much (or how little!) we can survive on.

We appreciate your prayers this week as we settle in, get a feel for the work, the routine and the area and as we look at getting Tabitha into school.

Hi Andrew and Carol,

Hope you get this and are settling down well to life in Scotland.
I am just about to start making some changes to our missions board in the church and was just wondering if you could send me a summary of the work you are now involved in so that our board will be up to date. Many thanks , God bless,
Ruth Reynolds
