Was Down Under again, but the first time in Perth, as the keynote speaker of the 21st Flame Congress held at John XXII College Auditorium from January 21-23. Eddie Russell had invited me there. Eddie was a facebook friend with whom I had a chance (?) enounter last year. He had mentioned he was passing through Dubai and I suggested he get out the airport and check the place out. Eventually, when I found out what he did, I asked him if he'd like to speak to our communities. He said he'd love to and did! He was magificent and everybody loved him, especially me!
Last month, he suddenly wrote to me asking if I'd like to come to Perth and speak to his community as he was undergoing surgery and couldn't lead the session as he had been doing for the past 20 years. I had put a stop to outstation mission for nearly two years, but I had sensed God telling me it was time I got off my butt, so I didn't take too long to accept. I was glad I did, because it was one of the loveliest missions I had ever undertaken, and by the time it was over, I was exhausted, but happy, especially at making a whole lot of wonderful friends.
