Recording Trip



 Dennis has finished his training on the computer programs. He now is getting some recording training.

At last we are off to the Territory. Our dates at the moment are mid August to mid October. We will be spending time in Borroloola and Robinson River. GRN have asked us to visit some churches/communities on the way up and back.

We are looking forward to going back. This is the first time we are going by car. Usually we fly. Flying is much quicker and cheaper, but as we need to do recording and the like, and staying for a longer time, we need the car and van.

Nelita gets car sick, so she will have a fun time getting to the territory and back. Please pray for her as she finds being in the car when it is towing the van makes her quite unwell.

Our plans are to be there for the Borroloola Rodeo. This is a time when people from different  communities come into town. We feel this would be a good time to show people what GRN has to offer in the area of the 5Fish app, and help them to download it onto their phones.

We will set up a display at the rodeo. (Dennis will have to man it himself because Glenys LOVES watching the broncs. She will be stuck to the fence with her camera!) Not really, but she will be tempted to run away as often as possible and watch the rodeo.

The display will have some phones and SD cards for sale, along with some other items that may be of interest to the Christians there. These will include colouring in books, songs and videos. If people are willing to help with getting supplies to take up there, please let us know.

 Nelita will be given school work from her school, so she will not fall behind too much, hopefully.  For Glenys, it feels like the old days of teaching while travelling.  ..mmmmm.

Some of the time we are in the Territory will be spent in Robinson River Station. We are a bit scared about driving the van  on rough corrugated roads, (approx 3 hrs from Borroloola). Fear of the unknown.

There has been a bit of a revival in Robinson, so it will be great to spend some time with the people there.

 The next few weeks will be busy in getting the car and van ready to go away. We need to put a water tank in the van and some drawers in the back of the car. Dennis is also going to attempt to build a slide out/drop down drawer for the car fridge. That will take some time and brain power, but he feels confident that he can do it.

Glenys is getting scripts ready and organizing Dennis and frustrating him with endless lists.
