today, which just became yesterday

Today (i mean friday)Fiona, Cathy and I visited Senator Calvert and presented the "Unity Statement on Overcoming Global Poverty" signed by 8 leaders of christian denominations in Tasmania and endorsed by 17 christian organisations.

It was a positive meeting and he is fairly supportive of our concerns. He was also quite approachable and relaxed. We discovered that he has been on trips to Africa, and is going to Cambodia in January. I'm not sure of the main purposes of these trips but they included visits to aid projects.

We're going to keep in touch with him and I'm looking forward to it.

I also visited the doctor and found out my Vitamin D results - 39, back in the normal range, getting more sun has been working (and maybe some help from the margarine).

In the afternoon I met with Fiona to review meeting up for the year and then after that I met with Fiona and Owen to review how World Prayer Group has been going this year.

Tomorrow (sat) i'm going up north for a TEAR state committee meeting in Evandale. I'll stay overnight, see Granny, mum&dad, go to my cousin Anna's 18th B'day party then get a bus back to hobart on Sunday. Then am having a TEAR useful gift stall at church, which will be good - it's so encouraging to see people buy gifts for people who really need it.
