It does sound boring, but I'm really enjoying this Synod of the Diocese of Ruaha! It meets once every three years, and this is going to be the last one chaired by Bishop Donald Mtetemela. We're going to miss him, but are praying that God will make it clear who the next Bishop is to be, for next year. Meanwhile as we talk about what's been going on since the last one in 2005 it's quite exciting to hear. There are some discouragements as well, such as: The question was raised why evangelists sometimes leave their churches and return home. They are 'missionaries' though, and need support and training for the cross-cultural move, when they are sent to open a new church. Hopefully, as a result of this discussion, in the future this will be included in their courses at the Bible schools - one of them is where I teach, St Michael's Kilolo.
I was hoping to include a picture, but have been having trouble again with my laptop, so will try to get round the problem... Keep up those prayers!

- Our first year of married life in UK, then in Tanzania, has brought a new learning experience! We have slept in many different beds, visiting with friends and in various schools. Udzungwa Mountains and Kiswahili language school were the best! The staff house in Kilolo where we live is becoming more like a home now, with the wood burner stove working better than is has since it was installed January 2009. A long road.
