Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbyes are always hard, but we've both found it hard to say goodbye to Tansen, the people and the friends that we've made in such a short period of time. Looking back, we would have never thought leaving would be so difficult - those first few weeks where we were unwell and were looking forward to being at home, have passed. Cat has had such a fruitful time working with a team of lovely people, lead by a Christian dentist and Matt has experienced medicine in a third world setting.

It's strange coming to Kathmandu, after having spent 5 weeks in a town, where more focus is on relationships and living more simply - here everything moves faster, is more noisy and you're less conspicuous. We can't imagine what it will be like coming home.

However, we are looking forward to coming home. Cat is longing to see her family in Malaysia and Sydney, as well as the rest of our family and friends.

Please pray for us as we start our holidays, for safe travel between countries, that we enjoy spending time with Cat's extended family and for time to rest. Please pray that we will spend time reflecting on the experience we have had and that we can make sense of it all and how it will change us and our lives.
