getting to the other side

This morning I woke up in a beautiful campsite after a fun evening with the people learning language there. I had to get to town early, and that involved a 20 minute walk along the river to a pulley crossing (you can see the rope and the seat - above my head in the picture - it's quite safe, just a bit scary to look at)...then a climb up the hill on the other side to my friends' house where a car goes in to town to take the kids to school. It was an early start, so I had to have a rest when I got back to my house! Then I cycled back in to town, and now I'm relaxing again...

The secondary school has exams, so I am teaching at the bible school only for a month. Nice to have time to catch my tail. Why do I keep going round in circles? (only joking.)

fresh corn!

The season for roasted corn has arrived, so after a long day of teaching, I enjoyed this amazing refresher from Hope's garden (shamba). It helps keep the hunger away until the evening meal!

Hey, my house in Kilolo is coming on - the people there were putting in the floor when I visited them last week! This is my teaching gear...

Still going three days a week and staying with Hope who lives in the village in a rented house. Very kind of her. I'm finding the teaching great - didn't expect to enjoy it so much, but I guess I have a God who knows and loves me more than ever.

The mango season is over, but I'm eating mulberries given to me by Elizabeth and David, grown on their farm, where I go at weekends for a break.
