Arrived home in Prestwick , Scotland  on 21 Dec , very tired , but having had a great break in Australia. Went to my daughters palce for Christmas lunch , she is a great cook.

On 6 Jan my grandson, Keith, is being dedicated at New Prestwick Baptist Church.

On Jan 7 am off to Wales for a week  , but this is not confirmed.

From 19 to 31 Jan shall be at the UN in New York attending the NGO Committee meeting.

Almost the last fish photo

The one that did NOT get away

Last night my son Adam took me fishing on Narambeen Lakes . This is a beautiful part of North Sydney.

We only got one , but he was a nice BIG flathead.

Adam may take me fishing again tonight , then I will be on the plane tomorrow.

Summary of Australia trip

Today I am in Sydney seeing my grandson Jack for the first time, he is so like my son.

The Lord has blest my time here in Aus. I got to preach in two churches in Brisbane , two in Hobart , and one in Bendigo. Lectured in a Bible college in Queensland , did three pro-life talks in Hobart and one in Burnie.

The high point of my pro-life work here was training five  people in Hobart to do the SPUC schools presentation on abortion.

The fishing has been amazing. Later today my son Adam is taking me fishing on Narambeen Lakes.

God has been good to me.

Many thanks to all my prayer supports.

There are no fish left in Tassie !!!

Keith and I were hard at it for the last two days. I caught a six and a half pound salmon and Keith got a four and a half pound cray plus a small one. We also got a lot of flathead , mussels and oysters.

I am trying to teach Keith to hold the catch closer to the camera so they look bigger !!!

 

Tomorrow we head off to Hobart , then I fly to Melbourne.

 

On Sunday I am due to preach in Kangaroo Flats b

Baptist Church in Bendigo , Victoria.

 

 

Back on the farm

The only problem visiting my " little " brother , in December , is that it is hay season. Keith is very keen to get free labour from his "big " brother as can be seen from the opposite photo.

Had a good responses from the people at Sandy Bay Baptist Church in Hobart,where I preached  last Sunday.

This Friday I fly to Melbourne to visit my cousins. Plan to preach in Bendigo that Sunday.

Next day I plan to fly to Sydney to see my new grandson.

Pro-Life Training Hobart

L to R : Martin Webb, Dawn Watkins , Anna & Zelia Matuszek , Peter Smith
absent , Penelle Kinghorn.

Yesterday I did my third pro-life talk in Hobart , around 15 people attended.

This time there was a most positive response and today I trained five people in presenting the SPUC pro-life presentation, see opposite photo.

Excellent hospitality by Noel and Betty Roberts in their supply of a room in their house for the day , a laptop , lovely lunch and a beautiful ambience.

Much positive benifit should come from this days work.

Tonight I am back on Bruny Island and hoping to get some fishing in tomorrow.
