Settling In

Two weeks and counting. New house, new job, and now a new golf club. One decision still to be made - new fellowship.

Over the last two weeks much change has taken place. We continue to adjust. During the process we have welcomed family and shared with them in exploring parts of southern Tasmania.

So what have I learned in these past two weeks and 4 days?

  • Tasmania is hilly... a great contrast to the landscape we travelled in the last six months.
  • Roads are winding... but the views are impressive.
  • Locals are friendly... and very helpful.
  • Historic buildings are everywhere... and most towns and villages have more than their share. The weather is great... when the sun is shining, but chilly when clouds come over.
  • Amazing work is being done... and I am impressed by the people working in many of our programs.
  • Administration is demanding and complex... and never ending if programs are to function, people be helped and lives changed.
Exciting times, and more challenges to come.
