Deputation, day 6 — Shrewsbury

I had a good journey from London to Shrewsbury. The sun is still shining here, and it is feeing very warm. Paul and Ruth Yeulett from Shrewsbury Evangelical church hosted a relaxed French meeting for the church here. We had a quizz and I was able to give a report on the work in Guingamp. We finished the evening with some French delicacies: bread, cheese, wine…

It was good to see the people here. It was also good to see a most of Esther’s family: here parents have come to Shrewsbury for the weekend with Sara, and Ruth Yeulett is Esther’s sister. I enjoyed some time with my young niece and nephews as well.

A week of traveling and mate nights is starting to take its toll, so it is time to go to bed.

Deputation, day 5 — London

I arrived in London quite early on Thursday. It was a beautiful day and I spent a couple of hours in Regent Park reading “Counterfeit Gods” by Tim Keller. I then made my way to Finchley where my Esther’s sister lives. She is away on a school trip, but her husband Marcus was here.

We had fish and chips and we found out that the owner of the place was a man from Radyr, in Cardiff. His parents own a chips shop there.

It was good to be in Kensit Evangelical church. The meeting went well, with good questions at the end, and I think the presentation helped a few to see that continental Europe is a mission field. At the end of the meeting, a lady came to me to introduce herself. She is a member of the UFM council whom I hadn’t met yet. She attends another church, but her sister does. When she heard I was speaking, she came along.

I am now off to Shrewsbury.
