August 21st

We had our last meeting with Ian this morning. We discussed the Prayer Wheel event which happened yesterday. We all were very positive about the event - we felt it had gone really well and that it had offered people the opportunity to pray in different, non-threatening, ways. Ian wants to get feedback from people next week to let other people know about what went on and he also wants to run another event in a month or two's time. He sees the prayer wheel gathering momentum.

In the afternoon Ian took us to Greenslopes Baptist church to have a chat with the pastor there - Graeme. Graeme showed us the buildings and church and we had a chat about the ministry of the church. It is interesting to see the differences between Australian and UK churches.

Late afternoon Kerry brought the bus to take us up to Paul and Cassandra's for a meal (they are a couple from the church, Paul (a Canadian) is studying at Malyon College). It was lovely to spend some time with them, and with Nancy and Kerry as well. Kerry drove us home and we said goodbye for the last time and waved them off.

More packing this evening - still wondering how we are going to fit everything in!
