On the 10th day til missions my team leader gave to me...

Merry Christmas all. It is Christmas eve and it is now only a measly 10 day sleeps til we are off (you no longer need your toes for the countdown and it's only 1 sleep til Christmas!)
We are almost set to go, last minute gathering of gear, and ever building excitement (and nerves)!

Here is a little of the great Christmas message:
"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." Matt 1 v 21


Be blessed and have an amazing Christmas everyone

Ladies and Genltemen, it is my pleasure to inform you that our travelling troupe is complete (or at least in the Meet the Team section). Check out our 6th member Matthew Stuart. Looking fine indeed Matty2 (and no that is not a typo).
Lets see if we can get some picture action working on this... Did it work...

It 's only 17 more sleeps until we are winging our way off to South East Asia.
Keep praying for us and Merry tidings to all at this joyous time of year.

Doctor Who...

Like any excited child with a new toy, you just want to play with it, hence this second post. It seems we have inadvertently discovered time travel! (I know I'm a physicist and all but still...)

Good morning all, let us see if this thing really works. The countdown has begun, it is only 34 days until we embark on our epic missions trip to Indonesia - where does time go!
