Kerang Update...

I am writing this post from a small coffee shop, in the little country town of Kerang where I have been posted for 6 weeks. One month has passed and I am just loving this place... A town of 3,000 or so people (Catholics being about 25%).

Most of my time here is spent preparing homilies, preaching, visiting schools, singing, visiting the sick, preparing couples for marriage, weddings and baptisms... as well as a fair share of cooking (which was all delightful until I tried to cook rabbit)! I'm also required to do a decent amount of travelling, as I also preach at two other churches 60km's away from Kerang, so I average 200k's every weekend!

Anyway, life and ministry has been good here in Kerang... It has certainly shown me that I do not need a big city to be happy... All I need is people and to continually rely on God's grace!

Blessings!!

Hi Rob, we must have interrupted you as you were typing this post when we said hello! I am impressed that you manage to do your blogging etc. from the iPhone, you must be well practiced in entering text on it, I wouldn't be up to it! But then again, I've only had limited chances when I pinch Annette's for a few minutes. It's been great to have you here in Kerang, we hope you'll keep coming back after your time here is (temporarily?) done.
