My very very best friend, Janice, who I’ve known and loved for 12 years, is here to visit!
Her trip to Malaysia got canceled so she decided to hop onto the next flight to come visit us instead!
This is her first time in Australia and definitely the first time being baked in the oven. If you don’t already know, we suffer from temperatures as high as 46 to 48 degrees here. (When she touched down yesterday, it was 46 degrees. What a welcome!!!)
It’s hot today also so we’ll be doing some window shopping later in the evening when it’s cooler.
I may not be able to blog as regularly now that she is here (and plus, the heat really gets me down). Do send prayers to the victims of the bush fires over in Victoria. It’s very tragic. Many people have died and lost their homes. Towns have been wiped out completely by the fires.
I’m planning to help out by sending some toys for the kids and some winter clothes in the next few months. I won’t be doing that now because I’m pretty sure they are overwhelmed by the help already pouring in and their priority is to get accommodation and the basic necessities. But help for them has to be continual – not just in this period of time. So have decided to wait a few months before sending stuff over east.
Meanwhile, I will pray for them.
