Kununurra Specials Installment #2

We had a lovely day yesterday! Our special meetings are held out at the Curtis banana farm. They set up their carport/garage very nicely with carpet and shade cloth and comfortable chairs. We had prayer and testimonies at first just like our normal fellowship meeting and it was very special. Then the workers had their part and then we had the emblems. It was slightly different to a normal special meeting, but just what we needed! The friends (including us) were very grateful for our special meeting. Here are some pictures:

Special meetings are here again. The workers arrived on Monday this week and we've had a full week! Rowanne came to stay Monday and Tuesday night, Brett came Wednesday and Thursday night and Linda is here until tomorrow. I think tomorrow night we are going to have Peter. So...we have been very privileged!! Here are some pictures of our time:

Baby update...

Well, here we are in the middle of May and I haven't done a proper post for almost a month. Time flies when you're having fun! :) I'm 31 weeks now and feeling pretty good. Getting tired again and when I come home from work I just collapse on the couch until Eldon gets home. It's really not helping me get my study done! Anyway, you know how you go through phases of questions when you are pregnant, "how far along are you" and "do you know what you're having" and "my, are you sure you're only having one?" Well....I'll tell you what stage I'm at now..."when are you going to finish work"????? And that is a big question...I am feeling so good right now that I just can't make a decision yet. I'm torn between working until I'm ready to quit for that little bit extra money and staying at home studying because I need to get it done. I'm still working at least 3 full days a week and some weeks I work the other two days for a few hours. I have a very understanding boss and she is pretty happy to let me choose when to work. So my answer is "I don't know!!!" :) There is a joke going around right now that I'll just work right up until I go into labour and then they'll just divert my phone into the delivery room. Doctors can come and pile things on the bed and surely it'll keep my mind off the pain, right? Yeah, right....likely. :)

Anyway, we are definitely on the countdown...60 days to go I see on my little calendar. 9 weeks to go and counting. Mom and Dad have booked their tickets to come over and that makes it more final and more exciting as well! Can't wait for them to get here. I'm in denial about all the things I need to order online before the baby comes...nappies, nursing bras, I have a list somewhere a mile long. If only I could find it....

In other exciting news, we are having our annual "special meetings week." The brother workers from Perth arrived on Monday, Peter Doecke and Brett Rundle. The sisters from SA/NT arrived Monday night on the bus, Linda Larson and Rowanne Winnum (sp?). We've had Rowanne here for 2 nights and are getting Brett tonight for 2 nights. Our little Wed. study meeting might just be a very big meeting tonight so we'll have to kerb our usual sermons. :) Sunday is the actual special meeting and then they all fly to Darwin on Monday. We are really enjoying them!

Well, better make this it....need to get the room ready for Brett.

Love, Sarah
