Today, Thursday 13th August has brought us one day closer to Perth. It started off quietly enough weatherwise but the wind got up strongly as the day progressed. It reminded me a little of one time we tried to erect a tent in the camping area at Kalgoorlie – we drove the tent pegs in and the miners drove them up again! Really it was the strong wind that was the problem in association with the sandy soil – but why let the truth get in the way of a good story!!
We are now in the caravan park at Merredin. We have been able to make contact with Roger and Edna who are travelling in convoy with Jim B – they are booked into some accommodation at Merredin (the town where we are) so we should see them before it gets dark tonight and will be able to travel into Perth with them tomorrow.
We have a booking for the whole team as from tomorrow night at Ascot in Perth. Saturday will be a day of preparation for the trip back towards Sydney and will include buying and packing of foods and water etc. Sunday will include a church service and a ride to Cottesloe Beach for those who want to ride from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
Why are we doing all this - look back at the first post in this blog for the details - but in a few words, because we want other people to know the Lord and to grow, day by day, to be more like Jesus. We praise Him for his faithfulness to us on this long drive and in our lives as a whole.
