A sad loss

It is with sadness that I share that my dear Mum passed away on 26 October 2026, after a long journey with dementia.

We are grateful that she is now at peace, and thankful for all the memories we have of her and for those who have walked alongside us and supported our family over this time. Your friendship, kindness and prayers have meant a great deal to us.

Mum’s funeral will be held on the 16th November 2026 at Wester Hailes Baptist Church at 10:30am.  We would love to welcome those who knew Mum and would like to join us as we remember and give thanks for her life. 💕

J has a job!

We are so thankful that Joshua finally has a job. He applied for around 250 roles without much success, which was tough at times. In the middle of that, he offered to help MAF on a short-term basis but in the end it wasn't needed. However, his CV was in the system and matched a new role that was coming out and the rest is history.  He had an interview a couple of weeks ago and was offered the position. He started this week and is currently in Cairns for an induction.  The role is Digital Learning and Content Coordinator and is under the Learning and Organisational Development Department. We’re really thankful to those who have been praying. It is a big answer to prayer, and a reminder that things don’t always come together in the way—or timing—we expect. It’s also pretty special that his first job after university is with MAF.  Who would have thought?

We are hoping that the meds will kick in especially for Zara so she can be relieved of the pain and fatigue she is experiencing.  This has affected her ability to work and study but we hope to see change soon. I will have surgery in September so prayers for that to go well would be appreciated. As we said before our plans for going to PNG have been disrupted and there are no plans for me to go before the new year with everything that we have going on.  We are in consultation with MAF about Simon going earlier so we will see what happens. We are thankful that we are together as a family as we go through this season and look forward to being on the other side of it. We did manage up to Cairns earlier in the month as we had to go through our belongings that we had stored there. We are thankful for those who hosted us and offered their car to enable us to get this done. It was also a blessing to catc...
