Athol Billy - thank you for keeping us involved in your journey and I am looking forward to you being back and to the things that you have experienced being part of your leadership going forward. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading each day's adventures and it was good to be able to pray relevant things for you as a result. God Bless Athol

Sheila N Thanks for all the very interesting blogs. It has been really good to follow you on your adventures- and yes it must have been an experience of a lifetime. Hope the flight back is better than you anticipate. See you soon.

Joan Scrivner Hi Billy praying for a safe journey home. Glad you have had such a fantastic time. The memories will be with you for a long time I'm sure.

Andy It's been great being on the journey with you, keeping up to date with how it's going. One last request .......... Can you do a final summary blog about The most challenging, changing, humbling, best and worst of your time. What has changed you the most, and what will you try and do differently. It's been a great journey, thanks. God Bless Andy

Gilly Glad you've had such an awesome time. Hope the journey home is uneventful and you manage to get some sleep. We are flying through Thursday night at get home Friday morning. Got to be chippie tea Friday night, what have you missed the most? Looking forward to catching up again, thanks for taking the time to do the blog it's been great to follow your adventures.

Sheila N I echo what Karen and Joan have said. Enjoy the weather whilst you can!!! If you haven't seen the Wilsons yet please remember me to them. It was lovely to see them in your photos. Enjoy the rest of your stay.

Joan Scrivner Hope you enjoyed your dinner with the Wilsons. I'm sure your visit was an encouragement to them. Enjoy the last couple of days in the sun - it's freezing here! Looking forward to seeing and hearing you in May.

Karen I will be delighted to have you home too Billy but enjoy the rest of your trip and your time with Mark. Also enjoy that Californian weather as it is Baltic here today. Miss and love you loadsxxxx

Eleanor Quiet am in F/Station, u came to mimd so thought I would look u up, not really expecting your blog in US so it has been good to catch up. Lovely that you are enjoying the US. Also that u are receiving ministry rather than giving. We gave enjoyed the teaching here but will be good to have u home.

Sheila N I wondered that too Karen but on looking at the next photo think Mark was standing on the 'running board' of the tram looking in. Just been catching up on your blogs Billy and you certainly seem to be having a good time. The pictures of the boats are just like places Alec likes to visit Don't think he will be coming over there to see that one though! Hope your time with Mark is good and beneficial.
