Ahoy Folks!
Reporting from somewhere in middle of nowhere...
Drove for most of the morning on what can only be described as a third world highway... one lane/ two- way road with a speed limit of 100 kmh, was our most intense driving experience so far!
Very exciting! So today we did our first visitation in a city called Pentland, population 232 (so small that a doctor comes to visit only once a month)- to a lady who has never met religious Jews before. This lady's doctor is Jewish and when he discovered that his patient, this lady, was Jewish he forwarded her name onto RARA! So we meet her and she tells us the amazing story of how she never knew she was Jewish until her father died some 20 years ago and her mother told her the secret that they had been keeping. So we had a lovely conversation with her and gave her a Shabbat lights kit, along with all the instructions on how to use them and she was so honored with the fact that she would be the only lady in Pentland lighting Shabbat candles. As we were leaving we asked her if she would like a Mezuzah, which she gladly purchased- and we helped her install it on her doorstep. It was really nice to see how much she appreciated our visit.
And the journey continues...
So we are about 350 kilometers from Cairnes and we have the good fortune of losing our front left tire. So here we are on the side of the road- waiting for some nice fellow from the RACQ to help get us out of our predicament.
Cairns here we come!
