I've finished my course, we've been confirmed as candidates in mission and UMN are now progressing our Visa application with the Nepali government. There is no turning back!
We're hoping to leave Bangor in the middle of July and take a couple of weeks in Scotland and England to say good-bye to friends. But before we can do that we have got a lot of preparation to do:
Christmas presents for the kids...
Shoes / clothes (essentials) for 2 years...
Techie things like water filters, battery charges, inverters etc...
Blue barrels - regulation missionary kit - all personal items to be shipped in blue barrels - main difficulty is finding them and then collecting them as they are big and bulky!
DIY - lots of - around the house to make sure it is still standing when we get back...
Clearing and dumping rubbish - it is amazing what you collect...
Packing...
Not to mention the speaking engagements and 'meet the missionary' type stuff.
This week we have been getting our roof fixed and brickwork repointed to make sure the outside of the house is in good shape before we go... next week I've got to fix the shower and paint the front door and kitchen...
Ah well it is all good fun.

Why be satisfied with Bangor when there is exciting, challenging and important work for you to do in Kathmandu? And why be content with the love and support of Christians in the Church in Ireland when there are Nepali brothers and sisters, and those who have made Nepal home, waiting to embrace you there? Go for it, and go in the strength of the God whose every promise is 'Yes' in Christ (2 Cor 1.20.)
