Thank you for all your prayers for us over the past weeks.
Please pray for Gabriella who has been having a temperature this week and John-Luke has a cough but they are managing well. Edith this week went to help at a handicap training centre where they train handicap people to make things to sell to help support themselves. They are currently busy making things for selling at Christmas.
A week a ago we went to the main shopping centre here in Dar and found that they already had there Christmas decorations up and the shops had decorations in for sale, so the Christmas season has already started here.
Last week Paul had a good week in Dodoma with Neville and the Brenda the Auditor from the UK. Paul was very grateful to Neville for the two weeks help he was able to give him and it is hoped that Neville will continue to help one day a week from the UK, up to Christmas. The Audit went well and some areas were spotted where things can be improved.
The office move in Dar was due to happen last week but due to some issues over the electrical power to the office this has been delayed until the end of this week or may be early next week. As Paul has his computer and all the office things with him he will work from home this week, which has worked out very well so far. Please pray that there are no further delays for the office move so we can settle in as soon as possible.
Thank you for the prayers and support.
God Bless you all

In Dar and Dodoma
Dear All
School continues well for John-Luke, Gabriella and Edith, this Friday John-Luke's class will be leading the assembly. We also have an addition to our family a small puppy named happy-jumpy and he suits his name. On Saturday we all went up the school for a family photo as well as some others. Edith's Sister Suzan has been settling in well into life in Dar.
Paul has been having some help from Neville, an ex MAF finance manager last week and he has travelled with Paul and a UK Auditor to Dodoma for this current week. Work has been moving very slow and it has been rather hard going with the early mornings, but God willing when Paul returns he will be able to start at the new office which is much near the houses so we will be able to work more normal hours. Paul is looking at getting a bicycle so is hoping to be able to cycle to work most days.
This week Paul will also be acting programme manager as Bengt will be in Uganda and Southern Sudan for meetings. so it looks like it will be a busy week.
Please pray for a successful week in all sides of the work and also for a good week for Edith and the family whilst Paul is away.
God Bless & Love form us all

Office Move
Dear All
School at home and at HOPAC continues on very much as normal.
For Paul the work continues to move along rather slowly. There has been rather a lot of meetings and other events happening that he has had to be involved, this has delayed him from completing his month work. It is progressing slowly.
The good news is that Paul's 4.30am early mornings rises will hopefully be coming to an end soon. We are in the process of moving the Dar office out of the city towards the area where we live, this is also an area where a lot of our customers are based. We are going to be renting a property alone with one of our main partners SIL who also rent the property adjacent to this one. It will give us more office space which we need as the staff have almost doubled here in the Dar office. The current office does not have enough space for us all so a move of some sort was needed. It will also keep us from having to fight with much of the city traffic to get and return from work each day. This means we will be able to work more normal office hours.
Next week Paul also has Neville Pereira coming from the UK to help him for a couple of weeks to try and help he catch up a bit. Neville was the MAF Finance manager in Kenya for a number of years and he also served for a year in Uganda. Paul is looking forward to having the extra help.
Well thanks for all your prayers and support we do so appreciate you all.
God Bless and love from us all.
