We're off and running!
Hi there to everyone who is journeying with us as we travel around Sri Lanka!
Just to bring you up to date. The Williams family - Hilary, Dharshini, Micah and Ebonie, along with Sarah arrived Sunday night/Monday morning and spent two days in Colombo visiting family, getting used to the weather and new time zone, and eating. Yes eating...lots of yummy, yummy food.
We stayed with Dharshini's Aunty and Uncle and they cooked lots of great food...like Chocolate Biscuit Pudding which we ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
On Wednesday morning we picked up Pastor David who had just flown in from Zimbabwe - it took him 29 hours to get here. We then travelled from Colombo to Kandy to meet the Kidsreach local team and visit the 'House of Hope' office.
When we got there we were greeted with a welcome song by the team...it was a wonderful way to meet them all.
We ate a quick lunch and packed the bus AND van and then finally we headed off in the late afternoon on the long trip up to Trincomalee, arriving at around 9.30pm.
Our hotel the "Raj Mahal" is very bright and clean. It was so good to get off the bus finally. Dharshini had been a pillow for Ebonie the whole drive so she had a numb bum! We grabbed a very late dinner and headed for bed quickly...the conference started first thing next morning.
More coming soon....
