Near Iringa, on a rock face are these amazing paintings which appear to be from the stone age. Kevin and I went to have a look at them together with a new friend, Roland, who has just arrived from the UK to study language and then go to work in St John's university in Dodoma. The paintings were discovered recently and are difficult to find; this was our second attempt!
Last weekend was a sad one because the new-born son of Philip and Happiness Magawa, (our second master) died suddenly only three days after his birth. We went to the funeral on Friday, and visited again over the weekend to share in their sorrow. The teachers and students were very involved in carrying the family through this time, so as well as praying for them, give thanks for the supportive community we belong to.
After two weeks in Kilolo we are having a break in Iringa, getting over a throat bug which made it difficult to teach; Thankfully it's on the way out, but it left us both feeling quite tired. Last Saturday Kevin baked his first bread in the wood burner stove, and now he's got himself a job! I made some breakfast cereal out of maize flour - 'stone-age cornrocks' would be a good name for it. If you leave it to soak overnight, it's (just) edible by morning.

Hi Anne
I am so sorry to hear about Philip's baby. Many EI prayer supporters will know who he is and would like to pray for him and his wife too. I have taken your paragraph almost verbatim to include in our monthly prayer calendar. Is that OK?
God bless
Linda
That's great, Linda - the more people praying the better! Thank you.
