Last week, during the school holidays, we helped at the church kids club. We had a great week and I think the kids did as well - especially the gunging of the leaders at the end of each session. We also enjoyed the opportunity to house-sit for friends whilst they were on holiday. The next blog will have the result from our CMS selection conference where we find out if we will remain as short-term workers or possibly become mission partners (long-term workers), we can then start making some plans for our future.

What wet weather?
After a very wet UK winter we had only blue skies for our holiday in Cornwall. We had a great time and we were able to go on some lovely contry walks, which weren'y too muddy - a good thing as I only had one pair of shoes! On our return we have decided to help at our home church children's holiday club , so you know where to find us next week - up to our necks in 'gunge'.
We have decided to go on a Mission Partner selection conference weekend on 29 February, if selected we would then have support from various churches & individuals, which would enable us to have a longer spell abroad, and more time to getvisas! Selected or not we would hope to return to Israel in the spring when our visas are sorted out - still no news. If selected, then we would have to go to Bible College some time later in the year, and then review where in the world we go next.
Still lots of unknowns and uncertanties, still living out of suitcases and staying with friends & family, still learning what its like living day to day and not having definite plans. P

The Future
Our immediate future is now a bit clearer - a holiday in Cornwall followed by a Mission Partner selection conference at the end of the month. We are currently working as volunteers, which means that we are self financing, if we are selected as Mission Partners it would mean that we would receive some support from churches and individuals through CMS, it would also mean that we would probably serve a longer term abroad.
We have returned to the UK so that our visa extension application is processed, this will take as long as it takes and then we hope to return. P&J
