Hole in one!!

Well, I hope you don't get the wrong idea here, but this afternoon I had the chance to play some golf with Colin and Alistair Ferry and Alex Swango. I hit a beauty on the 5th and would you believe it I got a hole in one! This is my second in my lifetime, the first was in Peterhead playing with Alex Ritchie around 20 years ago. I was so chuffed and can now boast having a hole in one in two different countries.

Apart from the golfing I did get some more important things done and made a second visit LV Pfieffer's to confirm everything for Sunday night when I have the opportunity to present the work in Peterhead to the Foothills Church. It was also good to spend a good part of the day with Alex Swango. He is still very actively trying to get his support worked out and is hoping to be with us in January 09.

I had the joy of being at HSBS chapel this morning and was given the floor to share what God is doing in Peterhead. It was good to meet so many great people and I got a surprise to see Ricky there. Ricky was an AIM worker with the West Mains church in East Kilbride, Scotland and I had the pleasure of spending some time with him at an Aberdeen youth weekend last year. It really is a small world!

Last night I spent the night with Dwight and Caroline Smith and was delighted to see that Desirae was there to for supper. Desirae is a one in a million girl! We had the joy of having her stay with our family during a previous Harding campaign and got to know and love her. I slept in Dwight and Caroline's 'Australia' room. It was good to have this time with then and they continue to be great encourager's and have a great heart for the kingdom and missions.

Well, I now only have 2 days till I fly out. I can't believe that the time has almost come. I remember thinking at various times in the trip that leaving for home seemed so far in the distance, but now the time has almost come! I must be truthful and say that I am glad it is almost over, but I also must say that I have been blessed during my ventures here. I know there are five girls who have been gracious enough to share me with the church in America for a time, but they are ready for their dad and husband to get home - only 2 more days!

I would ask that all who visit this blog keep us in your prayers. I ask that you petition our Father that He blesses all the efforts I have made for the good of the kingdom while I have been over here and that what's needed is supplied.

God bless!
