It is raining Kiwis at our place at the moment. Andrew Smith lead the charge, arriving for his second visit here two weeks ago. Now we have an additional six guests - so there are nine of us all up camped here.
Peter Parker and his 17-year old daughter, Larny, from Waitara, Taranaki arrived last Friday. Peter is here to lend a hand to get the Healing Home ship-shape. He's loving it here, despite a suspected kidney stone flare-up hitting him a few days ago. He's off for a fancy nancy x-ray first thing tomorrow. Larny is doing great, spending this week with our friend Kerry who works in a slum outreach to children.
Then, Annie Chen our hugely energetic doctor friend from Christchurch has also arrived, also for her second visit with us. She accomplishes more in a day than I dream of in a week! Ben was next to come, a great young bloke out of Masterton whom Andrew really felt to invite out. He's come for a week. Then last night Christine and her daughter Roberta from Christchurch pulled in for three weeks.
Andrew and Ben jump on a bus tomorrow for a couple of nights visiting an old friend who has been involved in establishing micro-enterprise initiatives in the provinces for eight years or so.
I'm lining up Annie's camera for a day soon so we'll get everybody's mug-shots up soon!
