Bumps
This looks dangerous, but I can assure you Christina came out smiling! It was her sixteenth birthday and her friends and sister gave her 16 of the best! I managed to get back in time for the party from teaching in Kilolo, and also caught up with Elizabeth who has just arrived back from UK. She's had an amazing time travelling up and down the island; For her, being driven around by friends has also been part of the uplifting experience. Back in Tanzania now unfortunately the hip replacement is giving her trouble, so please pray for a good resolution for that.
Also pray for the Bible school students who will be doing exams in two weeks' time at the end of their three month course. And give thanks to God that I'm feeling happy and healthy, still able to swim in the river at weekends,and teach the whole school (and some) during the week!

Holiday is over...
Rachel has adopted this little lamb and named him Smudge, and I've had fun feeding him too. His mother decided she just couldn't cope with two lambs! You can see how dry the grass is. The rains don't come back until November or December.
It's been a relaxing and fun time just staying at the farm during the holidays. Unfortunately they had to come to an end, so today I go back to Kilolo for the start of the Secondary School term. I'll be back some weekends, and Elizabeth returns from the UK next week, so I'll have to come and visit anyway. The Bible School students are doing well, and their three month course will finish mid August.
