Chaigh Me Abaile (I went home)

Well friends,


as most of you know I am back in Ireland. Northern Ireland to be precise. If you're into the whole, being accurate thing.
Well, I have been back for almost 2 weeks now, and it's been a pretty packed few weeks so far. I have been busy sorting things out with M.E people for treatment, or alternatives, and am seeing a natural kineisioligist for herbal treatments. I have had no chest pain at all recently, and after hearing that so many people were praying for me, I am hoping that God has healed that!


I have been praying about my return to Kyrgyzstan, and have my ticket already. I bought it as a return in my anticipation of healing. A step of faith.


Home is hard because I can't work, so therefore I am completly broke, especially after riasing so much money to get home in the first place. That is the hard aspect, i am looking at needing a budget of at least 100 pound a month in order to get back and forward etc. I am going to Exeter in November for a few down days with a good friend and to attempt to see the new Elim offices, of which i am now officially a missionary! Exciting, and fantastic to have their backing and love and care as they endeavor to work out treatment for me too.


I havent been sleeping still, and am continually exhausted, except at nights when I seem to get a wind of energy. Seeing my friends has been fun, and I seem to be able to draw some energy from them, as weird as that sounds. I haven't seen lots of my family, my mum and dad are both working, but i've enjoyed seeing my nephews and my sister Kelly. Although i won't see my other sister Amanda until I go to London.


My church are helping me go to London to go to a clinic and get a thorough check up, etc. It is very very nice and them and a real blessing to me.


As I am home I will also be speaking in two schools about creative arts, specifically drama, the work I do in kyrgyzstan, as well as working on the documentary i am making on Afghanistan. I will also be seeing family, friends, resting resting resting, which is hard for me because I get bored..but I am doing my best at learning to sit down..ha.


This week was my birthday and my friends were great, they took me out, bought me lunches, dinners, had a party for me, really looked after me and made me feel normal...which was lovely.


If you are interested in helping me while Im at home, whether it be through prayer, or an encouraging word, or even financially, please get in touch and let me know. Obviously I am not in a position to get a job (which would defeat the whole purpose of this trip!) but my budget looks like this


NO RENT, NO FOOD COSTS, only transport and misc which comes to 3.50 bus ticket x 5 (per week) 17.50 per week = 70 per month. Clothes, which are much needed after Kyrgyzstan wear and tear on my other ones..! Ive compiled a list of clothes I want to buy, 5 new tshirts, socks, underwear, trousers, light jacket (my intention is to replace my whole wardrobe which i havent done in about 5 years!) about 100.


Anyway if you can contribute one time, you can email and say, Tony, i'd like to buy you some pants, or some shoes, etc. please let me know and we can go from there. All my love,

Got muh nose peerst

So i did it. at last.
