I’m sure I always say this but the time is going by so quickly. I’ve decided that time definitely moves differently here! Sometimes a day can seem like a week and a week can pass like a day. It’s all just so different.

It’s hard to believe that six weeks have past since I left sunny Ireland, yes, I say Ireland, to explain that Northern Ireland is a different country is a losing battle! It’s great to be here and a privilege to see God at work. They say, “home is where your heart is” and as I get to know the Malagasy people more and more I realise that my heart is right here.
