Mum and Dad

Mum and Dad leave tomorrow, after spending two weeks here with us. We have LOVED sharing our time in the Solomons with them, and it will be great to be able to talk with them about life over here when we get home.
Their time has been quite busy - Dad has done a bit of tiling and a lot of concreting, and Mum has been involved with a sewing workshop for all of last week. They have been a real blessing to some of the people over here, and in return, have been enriched and blessed themselves. Short term mission opportunities abound in the Solomons - no matter what your gifting, there are opportunities for you to be a blessing to people over here.

We ate most of our meals together, which was really lovely. Mum and Dad have looked after the girls quite a bit as we have been pretty much flat out with musical commitments over the last few weeks. Good timing to have the grandparents visit!

Wraps for dinner! Yum!

Dad bought a great second-hand bass guitar for the church over here. The guys in the band were so thrilled, especially when Dad consented to giving them a demo! The guitar was presented (by Geoff, on behalf of Dad) to the church on Sunday.

The guys were all watching closely.
Dad was amazed at how well they could play - all by ear!

We've also had a few beach and river swims - we went to Mamara River - but it was really busy.

On Saturday we drove out to Benegi Beach for a snorkel. It wasn't as calm as the first time we went, but we still had a lovely morning relaxing and swimming.

Tough life in the Solomons!

There are other better photos on Mum's camera - of the actual work they were involved in, but I haven't got it tonight, and who knows what the internet will be like tomorrow!
