Last Week

Sorry for not having sent you any news this week.

Paul travelled down to Dar es Salaam on Monday with Ian the programme manager to visit the MAF office in Dar, it is around 450km and about six hours driving. As well as visiting the office Paul went to look for a car for us here. Ian travelled back on Wednesday but Paul stayed on as he had found a car and waiting for it to be registered. The guy registering it thought it might take until Friday but actually finished it on Wednesday which was very fast. So on Thursday Paul drove back with the car and Ruben the MAF IT manager who had come down to also work in the office to sort out some issues there. Ruben had managed to get a seat on a MAF flight and would have gone back on Friday with the plane but as he had finished decided to come back with Paul. They arrived back around 9pm Thursday night.

Then on Friday after many false starts our container arrived, though having asked several times of how they intended getting the container off the lorry here they turned up with nothing so our staff went to find a crane but in the process Paul decided to empty the container whilst it was still on the lorry so it would be lighter for the crane. They had just finished unloading and moving the boxes etc to the house when the crane arrived so they could move the container to the place we needed it put. They had been worried as the crane was only meant to lift 3 tones and the container with things in came to 3.7 Tonnes so it worked out well unloading it.

Please pray for our family in particular Paul's Auntie Mary and his Cousins, his Uncle Richard died very suddenly this week. Please pray for strength and the Lord's comfort at this time of lose.

Thanks for your prayers and support.
