Dear All
We trust and pray that you are having a wonderful Easter. We have been to church this morning to Dodoma Cathedral and had an Easter communion service which was very good, though we arrived a bit late we were still in time for the start.
We have an extra long weekend here as there is an additional national holiday on Tuesday so only a three day working week. School starts back on Wednesday so Edith and the children will be getting back to their studies. Paul will be working on the March figures but it will have to be a miracle to get it all completed by Friday but we will try.
Edith's sister Lillian arrived on Friday coming by bus from Uganda the bus should have been here at 4am but did not arrive until after 5.30 as the bus came across a road block by thieves on the way and had to reverse back to a village until the police arrived but they were all kept safe. Lillian will return to Uganda tomorrow afternoon arriving Tuesday sometime.
Please continue to pray for our friends Verna and Harry as they have Martyn's funeral on Thursday at 11.30am, that they will be given strength and comfort as they say their final goodbyes. These are the times when it is hard to be so far away.
Well we hope and pray that you had a good Easter and that you will know the Lord's blessing during the week.
God Bless you all with all our love.
Paul, Edith, John-Luke & Gabriella.

Happy Easter
Dear All
We just would like to wish you all a most wonderful Easter as we remember the death and resurection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We are all doing well and looking forward to the break over Easter and some good family time. Work remains busy for Paul as he is still acting programme manager until next week.
We will be having a visit from one of Edith's sister this week she should arrive on the bus from Uganda on Friday morning about 4am and will be spending Easter with us.
The children are looking forward to a few days off school as they have been working most of this week.
Please pray for our friends Verna and Harry as they deal with the death of Martyn (husband and father), pray they will know the Lord's strength and comfort at this difficult time. Martyn's funeral will be on Thursday at 11.30am.
Our home assignment is now arranged as far as the dates are concerned we will arrive in England on 21st June and return on 25th July. In this time Paul also has a Finance Manager's conference at the MAF International office in Ashford.
On our return to Tanzania we will travel to Dar and finish packing as it has been decided that we will move to Dar es Salaam and be based there from early August. Please pray for us as we begin to pack the house. The good news is that we have already found a house in Dar and have signed a contract to take it over in August, it is next door to where another MAF family are living and in walking distance to the school. Please pray that John-Luke will get a place at the school so he can start in August. The school is very popular so has a long waiting list but as it was set up for missionary children John-Luke will get some priority.
Thank you for the all your prayers and support.
With love from Paul Edith John-Luke and Gabreilla

Another Sad Week
We heard this week the sad news that our good friend Martyn passed away peacefully on Tuesday afternoon. Please pray for his wife Verna and their son Harry, that they will know the Lord's strength and comfort over the coming days.
Work wise Paul continues to be very busy, in addition he is the acting programme manager for these next two weeks while Ian is away for meetings and some holiday. Edith and the children have been continuing on with the school work but will be having a break soon for Easter.
Thank you all for your continued prayers.
God Bless and love from us all
