Hello from Colombo

My laptop stopped working several days ago and this is the first opportunity to get online. Such a lot to say but little time to say it. There was a service in the church at Talawa on Ash Wednesday and I was asked to preach. All of the girls were there and it was a real privilege to share my faith with them.

We travelled from Talawa yesterday on the train after a tearful evening saying goodbye to the girls. We leave behind a bit of our hearts. The hotel here is in stark contrast to the orphanage and feel a bit guilty surrounded by every type of food for breakfast when the girls at the House of Joy eat rice for every meal.

 I have just completed a course of antibiotics which worked a treat. Although I acquired nine new mosquito bites on the train ride!

Steph and I are visiting the cathedral today and have been invited to lunch with the Bishop. We have had such a good time and are enjoying this unique experience.

  1. Paul and I are pleased that the antibiotics worked and you had such a good experience. Fill us in when you get back.
    We hope Chris has been managing on his own.
    Pat & Paul
