Not so hot

Hello world - today is not so hot. Went into the community behind the centre today and helped with kids work and outreach it was so nice to be involved with that.

Have had the chance to hang out with the kids today and give lots of cuddles and catch up with friends. There are many who remember me which is nice also seeing the shock on some faces as they realise I am back for a while.

 

 

It's Sunday

Firstly the keyboard I a writing fro has soe keys whih don't work! You an proably guess whih aren't working   

 

Today was hurh and what a hot day again it was You hae to reeber that hurh here inoles lots of daning and hildren juping around you

So today was no different. The worship team was good today.

Then we got to celebrate the October birthdays in the baby house - there will be photos to follow but what a laugh that was.

This afternoon I was able to help take a number of children out for icecream. Thank you to those who gave money towards this.

The journey home was spent singing christmas carols which also ammused the local drivers.

 

So the week ahead has a few early starts out to SA and a day trip in Kruger. Oh and todays blessing was being vomited on by one of the kids who is a little unwell! Oh the joy of working with kids!

I have bags!

Well they are here today which is excellent. Not only for my stuff which is a small collection compared to the amount of stuff I had for the kids. The customs man was very taken with the 5 shrink wrapped dolls I had packed in my case and asked to see them - so opening then package all the air comes back in and obviously they fill out. When I showed him the dolls he was very ammused by then and counldn't stop laughing! He was even more impressed with the 18 pairs of sunglasses and kept saying how he has 2 small children, so now I am on base with 16 pairs of sunglasses - a small price to pay for not having to open my other suitcase. T.I.M

 

It is very humid at the moment and apparently there was a massive thunder storm last night on top of the all night prayer vigil - both much to the ammusement of the people here I managed to sleep through. Proves that ear plugs work.

 

 

 

What a difference a day makes!

Well I have arrived "home". The bags, however, are still (i hope) in Ethopia! This is all down to the plane not taking off on time! Grrrrr

It was great to be greeeted at the airport by Tracey, Lucia and Sina. Let me tell you it's HOT here - not only that but it's humid. SO I being the wise one that I am forgot to pack spare undies. The first time and sods law kicks in!

 

It has been SO nice being back here. I am staying in a missionary friends room and she has an industrial sized fan. The joy of arriving this evening also means I get to enjoy an all night prayer vigil in the church. For those who have lived here know how much a blessing I am finding that tonight.

 

The kids are all just amazing and of course growning as you would expect. It's lovely to be catching up with friends here.

 

That's it form me for now - NO clean clothes and praying that the bags arrive in tact tomorrow..... .Will let you know. .
