Bishop Dom Carmen visit - photos

Special Guests

Things are busy as we prepare for our special guests who are coming out early next week. By now, most of you probably know that we are privilleged to be hosts to a special man, Bishop Dom Carmen. Father Dom, as he was then, was in charge of the mission station that I was in just before I returned to Australia in 1967. Sr Val (was Sr Phillip) also ex New Guinea, rang to organize it with us, as Dom wanted to see some "real Australia"! Until he retired last year he was the Auxiliary Bishop of New Orleans. Father John Dwyer, who is assistant priest at Caloundra, is bringing him out and staying also for the few days. John was a lay missionary in New Guinea when I was up there. It will be just lovely to catch up with them. Please keep all in your prayers that they will have a really special and enjoyable time and ....... that we just might get this beautiful home of ours tidied up!

Looks as if we might have sold all of the round bales of hay - Thank you for your prayers and please thank God also. Will you also pray that we can get a buyer for the big square bales - very soon, before the mice manage to destroy it!!! Yes, mice are very bad again. We are keeping them at bay with water traps and poison, but they managed to eat what ever amount of poison Dad puts out in the house, completely, over night.

Mary is coming to our rescue this weekend to help get our house in order! We are so grateful Mary.

Lovely to spend time with our Brisbane family and to catch up with the Toowoomba family on the way home last week.
