Our last week here

Well, I wouldn't say we have had a quiet week of winding down.
We have been lifting in cages and setting them up in the holes, pouring concrete and filling the concrete with rocks to reduce the costs.
Stephen Sutherland volunteered to climb down each hole and stamp the rocks in whilst we continued to throw in more. I told him his name was unfortunate because when asked what we were doing each day, we simply replied, "stoning Stephen." He wore a hard hat and it was just as well he did because one loose rock bounced off it.
22 holes later, many of us are walking very stiffly with sore arms and legs and backs.
But, the job is done! All the bases and guy cable anchors are in.
Now, we move on to preparing the curtain for the 96m towers (TCI) antennas.
We are still praying that God will sort out the Native Title issues with clearing for power lines to lot 3000. We will continue to prepare the towers and antennas expecting that the rest will happen in His timing.
The TCI antennas when operational will send a much stronger signal to India. This is the largest group of people that HCJB Knx is involved in reaching with the Gospel, and the Gospel is sent there in 14 languages each week.
Jodi and I packed the roof rack last night and are taking a last look at any other items we need for the trip home on Tuesday morning.
Although we are obviously very excited about coming home, we are also sad to leave our new found friends. Right now, this has left Jodi in a kind of limbo. It's easier for me because there is so much work to do, not much time to think about it. For Jodi, all the school books are packed, the house is just about empty and time is moving very very slowly.
