We are still here

Dear All

We are still here! Sorry for not writing before now but things have been rather busy for us. We had hoped to send a news letter out in September but it still sits unfinished at present due to the current work load.

Edith and the children have continued on here in Dar for the past week, but now the school swimming pool has reopened Edith is rather busy helping out on several days with swimming. Edith is also on Thursday travelling to Arusha for a wedding she has been invited to so Paul will stay in Dar with the children, Edith will return on Monday.

Paul returned last week from a week or so in Dodoma mainly working on the September figures. He was not able to complete all the work due to other meetings for himself and Frank his Deputy, also his last day of working in Dodoma was a national holiday so most people were off. Since returning to Dar he has taken three days holiday as last week was the half term break for the children, so we were able to do some things together. So hopefully by the middle of the coming week he will have the September figures completed.

During the days off we were able to spend some time with a friend from Switzerland. Micheal had been over for a couple of months helping out in the hanger in Dodoma and travelled back with Paul to Dar on Tuesday, he was joined by his girl friend Barbara, so we had some time as a family together with them and then on Friday Edith and Paul took them around to see a little bit of Dar including one of the craft markets.

We have to visit the British high commission to try and get some information from them so please pray that this is successful.

Many thanks for your prayers and support, may you all know God's blessing on the coming week.

With love from Paul, Edith, John-Luke and Gabriella.
