30 Jan 2010

Hi All,
just a quick update, there's not a whole heap to report on this post but I wanted to just post an update so you know we're still alive...
Elijah is doing really well, we seem to be heading to the hospital less and less. Although, we are over there twice next week... This is to have his ears cleaned out.
Ever since having the grommets put in he has had loads of gunk coming out his ears. So he went in for a check up 2 weeks ago and had them cleaned out real good and he was put on some ear drops to keep them clean but even so we've still had to have him back to the hospital a bit just to keep them nice and clean or else they get infected. With all that said his ears seem to be clearing up and he is getting used to wearing his hearing aids again...
At the moment we are getting all our stuff packed up and ready to put into storage for our time over at Great Barrier. We are going to be heading off towards the end of Feb.
We are having to take over boxes and boxes of medical gear so thats gonna be interesting...haha
We usually order his medical stuff once a month and even then there's heaps of crap to store in our house but now we have to order about 4 moths worth for our time over at the Barrier cause we cant order it over there...
At this stage it looks like just Elijahs stuff is gonna take up a full van!
Other than that we have been keeping really busy playing around the place with a number of different people.
2 weekends ago Josh was playing with Jeremy and Conney Sinnot from Toronto Airport Church in Hamilton, from there we headed straight over to Tauranga where he was playing with Cindy Ruakere at the YWAM jubilee celebration. This was an awesome weekend, we got to meet Loren Cuningham (founder of YWAM) John Dawson (Current President of YWAM) and a whole heap of other 'greats' in the kingdom... We also got to catch up with David and Dale Garratt and we got to know some really cool people who we know we are going to have a heap more to do with in the future!
After the weekend jubilee was over it flowed into the Call2All conference. Josh was playing every morning and at the opening for Cindy. We had a stall set up for InFlame Worship School. So we had a lot to do and we were absolutely stuffed afterwards...
We got home late Friday night from this conference and saturday arvo Josh had to head up to Auckland where he was playing for a guy named Sean Feucht. He is a worship leader from the states and has a ministry called burn 24/7 (http://burn24-7.com/). Josh was up in Auckland Saturday night and Sunday morning then they were playing at a church in Hamilton on Sunday night... After all this he was finally able to come home.
But not for long as this last week he has been teaching in Hamilton at the In-Tune workshop at Vision College. Now that this is finished we feel like we are starting to recover from an intense few weeks!
Elijah is a little legend with all of this. He is so amazingly patient with us and will just go along with all the long car ride and meetings quite happily... He lets us know when hes had enough but thats usually well after we are over it ourselves! hahaha.
We love hearing from you all so if you have any questions please just flick us an email or even call!
God Bless,
Josh, Ambz and Elijah!
