Goodbye to the Jacksons
Today was tinged with sadness as we had to say goodbye to the Jackson family. Barry, Linda, Peter and Leonie have lived opposite us for the last year and have become good friends who will be sorely missed here. Barry was a fellow science teacher here at Grace and I was sorry to see his desk cleared today when I went in to do some sorting out. Esther will miss Linda badly I know and we hope to be able to visit them in New Zealand in the future.
I do have a sense that, after their time here with all its challenges and excitements, they will be a real blessing back home and are ready to see God leading them into new things.
We will miss you all.
With love,
Andrew & Esther
PS that bike you left is a mechanical disaster. Thanks a bundle!!

What a cheek! Be happy with everything you receive, be it a visit to a health club…or an old bike

Hey guys!
Great to hear from you. Can’t quite believe you’ve been there for a year!! Wow!!!Emma and I leave NZ on Monday and fly to Chile. Will be really sad to leave…NZ is such a beautiful country. You’ll definately have to come and visit your friends out here. Keep in touch, love Claire xx
