Dear Friends
This week is the last week of school for the children before their mid term break the following week. Please pray that they have a good week at school. Edith remains busy with the different jobs at the school and the Nuro centre she is now helping with swimming at the school.
Edith, Suzan and the children will travel to Dodoma on Friday afternoon by a MAF plane, as we will be having a fellowship time with all the MAF staff on Friday afternoon and then all the international staff will be having the weekend together. Then Monday there will be a further meeting with all the staff in the hanger.
Paul is already in Dodoma as he travelled up there last Thursday to and over the day to day finance manager work to Neville and to start on the projects he needs to complete whilst Neville is helping.
After the Monday meeting the family will stay in Dodoma until Wednesday when we will travel back to Dar via one of the national parks arriving back in Dar on Friday. This will be the first time we have managed to make it to a park in the two years that we have been here.
Please pray for safe travelling over the next two weeks for everyone.
Please also pray for strength and comfort for Ben Tanton and family after the sudden death of his wife on Sunday. Ben is the son of Steve and Caroline Tanton who are our cousins.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
God bless and love from us all.
Paul, Edith, John-Luke & Gabriella

Time is flying past
Dear Friends
We are not sure where the time is going and it has been hard to keep you up to date so sorry about that. It is hard to believe that we are already into October.
The children are continuing to enjoy their school and are up and ready to go to school before seven every morning. Edith has been busy with her work in the Nuro Centre and also at the school.
Paul spent his first week back on handover with Fiona and preparing for the budget run he then traveled to Dodoma the next week for budget meetings and continued these in Dar the following week, the budget went in by the 14th. That then meant he needed to complete the August figures and so the next two weeks was taken up with that and another trip to Dodoma. This week he has been working with Neville who has come to help him here in Tanzania Neville was the finance manager for MAF in Kenya and then later in Uganda and you may remember he was out for a couple of weeks last November. This time Neville will stay until Around Christmas he is going to take on the day to day finance of the programme whilst Paul will be working on a number of projects that need to be completed but time has not allowed with the other work. We are very grateful to Neville for giving up his time to help, his wife Janet will join him later in the Month. Next week Neville will travel to Dodoma where he will be based Paul will follow on Thursday for a week before being joined by the family for a conference.
We hope that you are all well and will try and do better at keeping you up to date with the news from us.
God Bless and love from us all.
