It's been a good way to tackle the "grieving" process making this video and writing all our reflection articles for the church record. It's channeled that energy usefully instead of moaning about not wanting to be here. I guess it's made us remember all the lessons we were taught, how God brought us through the good, bad, sad and angry moments of our trip. We value the experience but know that we must move on from there and not dwell on the past. Moving on then to the next phase!!
Alvin's back at work in his old job and he's happy enough. I on the other hand am enjoying all the free time that comes with being unemployed. I've had time to sort through things that I've always wanted to do but never had the time. Apart from doing all the mission sharing stuff I'm meeting up with friends to catch up, revising my old radiotherapy notes in the event that a job opens up, making the most of the sun when it's out and keeping fit.
I guess it all sounds a little bit boring after our "big adventure", but to us the adventure continues. We are seeking God in ways we can serve here in London, our own backyard, and just asking Him for direction in our lives.
Oh, and for those who didn't get to see it, Alvin and I wore our Khmer traditional dress to Kristy and Chun Yip's chinese banquet. No extravagant make up this time!
Everyone in Cambodia will probably laugh their heads off when they see this.
Grace and peace
Alvin & Chu
