Joining the Local Church

Today was our first Sunday back at the local church near home and today we were accepted as members of their church, We had the privilege to witness three baptisms today which was a great blessing, it reminds you of how you felt when you were first baptized.. Rikki-lee attended church with us this today and she wants to come back again which is good please join us in prayer for her salvation. Josh is practising a special with the Pastor's son, Glenn. To sing for our friendship Sunday, We are both looking forward to seeing how we can help out in the church, I am in the process of working on a Church Bulletin for our members. We also have an event coming up in either October or November in which a little booklet will need to be made which i am going to help out with. We have also asked Pastor Marquez if we can have a bible study on Wednesday nights, He said yes and we are now having a prayer meeting on Wednesday evenings.
Take care and God Bless

Medieval Festival

Josh, myself and Bear

Hey all we went today to the medieval festival here at a Park near home it is, the park is usually full of lovely greenery they have weddings, receptions and wedding photo's done there all the time, they usually have a nice waterfall etc too but due to our drought and water restrictions their dam is low and waterfall isn't running but it was a nice place to hold such a festival they had people dressed in medieval attire and had medieval battles and jousting as well with the horses dressed up as well as the knights in armour, they didn't knock each other off the horses like they would have back in the day but they did hit each other hard enough to break the jousting poles all in all it was a great day out... Mum and the 2 little ones went with us. Another bonus as you can see we got to take Bear with us too and we met up with Renee, Chris and the boys ( as the park is across from their house)

Here are Rowanne , Rikki-Lee(my little sisters) and our friend Cassie in order from left to right

Thank the Lord for answered Prayer

Recently my 11 year old sister accepted the Lord as her saviour and has been attending our church, upon returning from Canberra, Mum shared with us that my youngest sister (all of 9 years old) had gone to her service in the Mormon church on Sunday just gone and told the gentleman who picks her up and brings her home that she didn't want to attend the Mormon church any more and wanted to attend "her sisters church" which i give thanks to the Lord as we have been praying that she would come with us to church and soon have her name written in the Lambs book of life.... I feel blessed to know that Rowanne will live eternally with the Lord and that Rikki-lee may soon follow we shall keep praying for her salvation and would ask that you also please join us in this prayer,
May the Lord keep you safe and in good health,
Rachel

Returned Home Safely

Hi All,
We left Canberra this morning at 6.37 which was rather early we were up at 4.30am... Had a few cups of coffee before leaving... Got to order a hot breakfast on the train and we had found a new type of coffee in the shops that heats its self up in the can which turned out to be a good thing for travelling and just happens to be an American product.... We arrived home Mum picked us up from the station near home which was nice of her, She had also been kind enough to watch Bear for us while we went aways for the few days when we got home he ran straight to us as if to say you came back for me which was really cute he has gotten so much bigger in the few days we were away.... (will post more pics soon of him, trying to get more pics of us too)It was good to hear Josh's Dad peach again, In the evening service Brother Page had a good message to preach it was good to see the Church members again..
Well better stop typing now this message is getting rather long
take care, Rachel

Greetings From Canberra

Hi All,
We have ventured down from Sydney to Canberra to visit with Josh's Parents for a few days, We were fortunate enough to have a ride down here as Josh's Dad had come to Sydney and offered us a lift to Canberra so we are here till early Tuesday morning, Then we catch the train home to Sydney, We are looking forward to listening to Josh's dad peach on Sunday and seeing some of the old church members should be fun..
Well better had off now
Take care and may the Lord Bless you,
Rachel
