Graduation picture (at last)!


What a relief... I copied most of the photos from my old laptop onto a cd and then did a virus check on it and it was clear! So now I can start again, and here is the photo I wanted to share from the school's graduation of form four students. Lilian and Maida asked for this shot to be taken, and now they've left the school. Form two have also taken their national exams and gone home, so we are left with a small group of forms one and three students.

It is nice because now the Bible Knowledge class can be on a better day, (Wednesday) and we can catch up a little, because on Mondays one or other of them were often not there. Even so they are still struggling a bit with keeping up to date with homework.

Elizabeth has come through her operation well, and is staying in hospital to get her confidence back walking - the first operation left her unable to walk without a frame or crutches, so now everything is a new experience again.

I am looking forward to coming to UK in December after the next set of exams are over - pray that I can get the marking finished before leaving.

Viruses

Apparently my old laptop which has all my pictures on it is riddled with viruses, so I'm going to have to get a new camera which agrees with this (new) laptop - maybe when I come to UK in December... I'll be around for a few weeks visiting my Dad and other family and friends. Meanwhile I need to somehow get the photos off the old one, free of infection.

Here in Kilolo we may get electricity soon, and it will make a big difference to life. At the moment I have to go to town or the farm to charge batteries and do a longer time on the internet. Keep up those prayers!

Pray too for Elizabeth Phillips (84yrs) who is going to have another hip replacement next week in Dar es Salaam, because the first one wasn't a success.
