I dropped Simon off at the airport for his exam this morning at 8:30am. The exam was 40 questions and 3.5 hours long. After hours of study he came out the exam with a 90%. Lots of joy in our house tonight. Another hurdle cleared and off to face the next one. Thanks to those of you who keep praying for us. The last few months have been seriously crazy but we are learning to take one challenge at a time or trying to.
Tomorrow morning our shipment arrives from Brisbane. It will be funny to have a sofa again to sit on, beds to sleep in, a dining room table to eat from, washing machine and all the other things we packed 4 months ago. Having said that I will miss my frequent trips to Tree Tops (Guesthouse where we first stayed on arriving in Australia) to do our laundry and have theological discussions over folding clothes or learning about someones experience of living in the bush in PNG. Might need to find some excuse to make a visit once in a while. J and Z are also going to miss swimming in the pool too!!!
Joshua and Zara had their swimming gala today at school. Zara got first place in her two races and Joshua came second. Their house - "Crocs" won the gala so they were excited to share the news when they returned from school.
We were also looking at moving house but this has not worked out. After various conversations with a property agent, migrant specialist, lawyer and others it looks like it will be better, for now, to stay where we are until we upgrade our visa status. That will take just under a year to process. We are still rejoicing in getting our 457 visa so the 187 will just need to wait for a bit.
I will post some photos of our shipment when it arrives. Hopefully all in one piece. It is going to feel a lot like Christmas!!!!
