07/16/2002 Entry: "The Corbin Family arrived home safely"
Boy is it hot in Florida!! I think the whole Corbin clan is seriously missing the weather (really we are!) in Wales, England and France. We arrived safely on US soil at about 6:30 p.m. Monday evening, but due to various circumstances we did not actually arrive home until about 11:30 p.m. Even though our bodies were feeling like it was 5:30 a.m. we did get a good night sleep and now are trying to get back into the routine of life here. The flight was wonderful-- blue skies the whole way. Many thanks to John, Pat, Mary and Eileen for the wonderful send-off from Wales. We appreciate all you (and the church family) have done. Our holiday in England and France was a good one, filled with many educational and entertaining adventures, only a few frustrations and delays. There are too many to highlight now, but we have been enriched by the many cultural experiences. In a strange way, it helps me to appreciate the differences in my own country. Ivan will probably have more to say at a later time. For now, the kids and I are off to relieve my parents of "the Beast", our big black cat that has lived with them for 7 weeks! Debbie

Dear Ivan, Debbie, Chris and Rachel
Very pleased to hear that you have all arrived home safely.
We have missed you during the past week here at Sketty. I know that I speak for everyone in the church when I say that you, Debbie, Chris and Rachel will be more than welcome to return at any time, as a family or as individuals.
Thank you for your ministry and especially for your friendship, the 'pond' may separate us physically at this time, but nothing can take away the memories.
God bless you all and thank your congregation for allowing us to share you for this short time.
John
p.s. I cannot make up my mind whether to think of you as "Ivan the rain" or "Ivan the crank" (since you were so besotted by the pulpit mechanics).
