Hi there...
I am so sorry that we haven't updated the blog for ages.
This is Fiona. She is now 4 months.
We have had an amazing Summer. Obviously the first few weeks with fiona were an adjustment, but we have been Manchester for Fran's Dad's retirement do... and to Cornwall for Grace Bible Week.
We are also proud to announce the arrival of Fiona's cousin Olivia on June 23rd.
SO... the big decisions are looming. This Summer has also been a time for us to explore exactly where we want to be and what we want to be doing. We are exploring the BMS ( Baptist Mission Society) opportunities for long term service. We have had an initial interview in Didcot, and another one coming up in November. At the moment we are deliberating, praying and seeking councel about whether we do want to up sticks and go to serve God overseas or whether to stay here and take up our careers as our mission field.
Then there is the question of whether we stay in Newcastle or now. Our house has unfortunately been totally hit by the recession, with all the money we have invested in it being lost if we sold it now. But, really; if we stay in the UK we would really like to be near to mum and dad.
Anyway... if anyone has any ideas do let us know... for now; Fran is going back to work in December with Fiona to the childminder 3 days a week. Mike is doing really well at work in Sunderland.
Much love
