Yesterday I went with some friends to this amazing place near Iringa. It is like going to a fossil area and walking through the mists of time. The erosion has left these pillars of sandstone all down a gully - perfect for dramatic photographs.
Since my last post all the CMS Africa people have been to Nairobi for a conference. I found it very inspiring to see a new mission experience being generated in Africa. If was hard going, both the travel and some of the encounters, but it did leave me with a knowledge that God is at work here, and will continue to be, praise him.
Kevin flew from Kenya to the UK for just a week for Rachel's graduation, and he is arriving back today. Meanwhile I drove back from Kenya together with Ben and Katie who have taken over Neema Crafts, and the long journey grew even longer when we ran out of both money and fuel. No cashpoints were open as it was Sunday, and the pumps were empty, so was our tank. When we pulled out of an unsuccessful petrol station we were waved down by a man who told us we could buy petrol in liter bottles. Wow. I eventually bargained with him to sell us thirteen of these for a twenty dollar note. That took us far enough to get both money and petrol in Morogoro.
We were so tired by then that we decided to stretch the journey to three days instead of two. God gave us a beautiful place to rest on the way - with enough money to pay for it. We're not short of money - just a cash-flow problem!
