Our Move to Canberra

One hot summer’s day we arrive in Canberra (Saturday 23 January 2021)

To our dear Supporters,

We had our best move ever!  After a perfectly executed logistical exercise involving a hire truck and 3 trips to to/from Canberra, we finally made our move to Canberra with all the family on Saturday 23 January.  We were helped by good friends (thank you – you know who you are!) at each end with packing, loading / unloading and for one trip, even a driver.  

Another hire-truck load destined for Canberra.

YWAM Canberra.

We were not able to secure a rental house in the competitive January real estate market but in answer to prayer, friends of ours pointed us to the Canberra YWAM base.  We have been able to move in to our own demountable little house on their grounds. We are blessed to be able to stay here as long as we need to. We have now settled in here with our household things in storage at nearby Queanbeyan.  We are enjoying the community living experience and it has been wonderful to maintain a mission connection in YWAM.

And so we are writing to you now a month later - after one new job for me, a new school (Y11) for Isaac, a new Uni for Sam, a work weekend away to Jindabyne, a bike crash for Sam with a visit to the hospital L, meeting new friends, looking for a new church, finding our way around a new city… and I guess if we thought about it enough, the list would go on infinitum.

Thank you for your love and support,

Chris Sandi & our clan
