Nyoman has arrived safely from Bali.  Her TAFE hours are all day Tuesday & Thursday and Wednesday mornings.  If you are doing anything interesting on a Monday or a Friday and would like to connect with Nyoman please ring the church office and find out who her current host is.  Many of you will remember Pastor Ketut, our first Bali student in 2002.  He is Nyoman’s uncle.  He has sent a letter and a photo of himself and his wife.  These will be on the Mission noticeboard.
