Our week of WELT (Western Europe leadership team) meetings is over now, and so today is full of trips to and from the airport. The first people left at 5 o'clock this morning, and the last to leave will catch their flights late in the evening. We had a good week together, spending time in God's presence and praying for different people and situations that He brought to our attention.
My friends who live at Villa Rehoboth also left today - heading to the UK for a wedding in England and a 90th birthday celebration in Wales. This means that Anja and I will be on "animal duty" for the next couple of weeks - looking after Brandy the border collie and Tommy, a tiny six-week old kitten that they just adopted last week. I'm going to be staying at Rehoboth during the day, having my coaching appointments from there and doing some computer work such as curriculum writing and preparing teachings for my upcoming trips to Belgium and Barcelona. Anja will sleep in Rehoboth so that the animals are not alone during the night.
Today, however, when we're not taking people to the airport, we'll be doing many loads of laundry - washing all the bedding and towels that our 30 guests used over the past week.
Looking ahead to next week, I'll also finally have an appointment at the dentist (I had to cancel my previous appointment when I was coughing so badly with pneumonia) to finish the root canal treatment that was begun in July. And I'll need to take my car into the workshop to sort out a problem with the back windscreen wiper before the rainy winter season arrives. So it will be quite a varied week - totally different from this week, which saw us in leadership meetings every day.
