Transition

We are leaving Peru at the end of November and heading back to live in the UK. Right now whilst we try and maintain as normal a routine as possible we are however entering into a period of transition.

We are busy sorting out the house; clearing out junk, selling and giving away things and even starting to say goodbye to some of our friends. Anjanette has stopped working at the clinic in Huambutio, the childrens' work continues there but we have closed down the medical side of the project. Scott is handing over his responsibilities to other church leaders spending more time training them up to take over and less time preaching or leading meetings.

It is a strange unsettling time as we start to think about how the future will look in our new home, new jobs and new schools. We are busy doing paperwork that is necessary for leaving Peru as well as starting life in the UK. We are experiencing a mixture of emotions, sadness at leaving a place where we have been really happy but also excited about what God has in store for us.

Please pray for us as we work through the practical and emotional aspects of transition. We have moved house 11 times in 17 years of married life and are hopeful that this next big move will be the last one for a while!
