Life Down Under

Welcome to Life in the Walsh Home

We had a great class with the interns yesterday. They all came over to our place, and after an hour teaching on Knowledge of the Holy, we decided to webcast the prayer room to give them a bit of a taste of what it's like in Kansas City. Aaron had emailed the prayer leader for the set we were going to be listening in on, and asked them to pray for us. It was absolutely incredible - both for us and for the interns. I can't put into words how much strength it brings to our hearts to hear our family back in Kansas City praying for us - by name. It made me want to cry. And our interns were touched, too. I watched their faces as they listened to those in Kansas City praying for them - they were undone. Thanks, Brent. You scored on that one.

Today's start to the day hasn't been so great. I lost our car keys. Don't have a clue where they are. Haven't yet figured out how a set of keys can up and disappear, but they have. I have turned our house upside down looking for them (not a hard thing to do these days - we only have the bare necessities, remember!). The keys are no where to be found. The bad thing is that they're not even our keys - we're borrowing the car from someone until we can buy our own. I'm hoping that they have a spare set at home. The other bad thing? Taylor's car seat is locked in the car. So we're kinda stuck here until this little problem is solved. Until then.....I'm still praying that these darn keys show up somewhere......

We have also just found out this week that our container won't be here until April 17th! Not a big deal, a little disappointing - just about 4-6 weeks longer than what we had hoped. It turns out the container got to the port on January 26ht - two days after it left our house - but the ship didn't set sail until Feb. 10th. And it takes about 8 weeks to get here from there. Don't suppose I can complain too much - we are on the other side of the world, after all - but it will be really nice to see our stuff when it comes.
