Christmas

Yes, we've had a good time over Christmas! Have I mentioned my family here in Tanzania - Hope and Anna and their kids? We went there to celebrate on the Day and met up with another friend, Helen, who had traveled from northern Tanzania to join them in their new home. I had decided to give away some of my books (Aaaargh), so each of the kids received either a school prize or something like that. :(

Kevin had brought some marzipan back when he visited the UK in November, so we enjoyed some of the classic flavours as well. We did end up with two cakes, one for before and one for after dinner!

That morning Kevin and myself had given thanks to God in the Cathedral church in Iringa, for our marriage. We asked that the offering could go towards roofing a village church (in Mtitu) which has recently been built, but was being washed down again in the heavy rain. I have since received a message from a happy Pastor of Mtitu, who was thankful for the gift. Pray that they get the roof on before more rains come.
