Well, we left Melbourne on Monday morning early. The East Timor team was there as well so we were able to say goodbye to them as well. Saying goodbye to Amanda was hard, I will miss her. Our plane was boarding as we arrived at the gate and they hadn't issued Malachi a ticket so we had to go back to the ticket counter which was next to the gate and get a ticket for Malachi. We had two seats on the plane so we held Malachi the whole time. He flew really well. Our last plane trip he had trouble landing as the plane descended very quickly. This flight he slept but as soon as the plane stopped in Brisbane he was awake. We got off the plane to realise that we were going to get back on teh same plane to go to Cairns. The weather outside is hot. We arrived in Cairns and Malachi was asleep again but he didn't wake up this time whent he plane stopped, he decided to wake up in the terminal. We collected our luggage and waited for a taxi. Teh taxi driver told us when we go to Tree Tops that we broke the record for the most weight. We got settled into our room and were tired.
In the afternoon it really hit me how hard it is to leave family and friends and move to anohter country. I was sad and I know that this will not be the last time it happens, but I know that this is the journey that God has for us at the moment.
We are enjoying the relaxing time and I am now relaxed. we are venturing into town this afternoon to pick up groceries. Johnathan's parents get here tonight and we are very much looking forward to them coming.
