Saying Goodbye and Back to Bugallon

Tuesday,  11th October 2011

There was a desire from all of us to sleep in again, but we had to be up early to catch Sis Lea and Arlee before they went off to school. Our children were still in their PJ's for the group photo.

We took our breakfast with Bro Rudi before having our washes and repacking our bags again. Bro Felcris arrived just in time so we could all travel to the waiting shed on the main road.

never came

After waiting for 45mins and not seeing any buses from either direction, we decided to go into town. It turns out that since a new bridge has been completed in the last week, the buses no longer use the road near Bro Rudi's house. So we took a bus back down to Camiling, and then another bus back up to Bugallon. As the road was much better than the old route the total time was very similar.

We arrived at the hall to see changes. Bro Jodel and Bro Jonathan were busy pruning the hedges and cutting the grass. New curtains had been hung in all the windows. There was a new fridge in the kitchen and also a hammock hanging in the mango tree out the back.

Without delay it was time to get into the washing again, while Bro Felcris prepared lunch (chicken adobo, and crispy fried chicken). I bought some Pop Cola for everyone to enjoy.

After lunch the children played, they enjoyed having Cally as a playmate again. I had another attempt to remove some old virus software from the computer and then started copying all the photos across from the cameras onto the computer.

Sis Jinky arrived in the afternoon with some supplies and along with Cesar they prepared tea. Jonathan and Jodel stayed for tea (they slept over for the evening as well) and the Bible readings. There was a lot of discussion on Ezekiel 37 as well as John 2&3.
