Winding Down in Melbourne

Well, it's hard to believe we're all done and will be flying home in a couple of days. Angela and I are staying in the Melbourne CBD (downtown) for a couple of days and will be exploring the area of bit. It will be a nice way to end out trip down under.
Last night, Ted, Angela and I, together with Pastor Chris, one of the new pastors to the District, had the pleasure having dinner with Rev. Greg Pietsch, the president of the Victoria and Tasmania District of the LCA and his lovely wife Judy. Greg and Judy invited the four of us to their house for dinner. Over a wonderful meal of lamb and roast vegetables, we had an opportunity to unwind and chat about a wide variety of topics. It was a wonderful way to wind up our teaching time here Down Under.
Ang and I will miss many things when we head home. Australia is a beautiful country, but I think what we'll miss the most is the people here. We have been so blessed by the many friends we have made and the people we have had a chance to meet and work with. Time and again, people have gone out of their way to show us around their cities, take us to dinner and open their homes to us. They have made our time here in Australia unforgettable.
