Birthday


I think there was a bit of confusion whether it was a birthday cake or garden. Anyway I've planted lettuces and carrots in Kilolo, and this was a gingerbread that reminded me of that.

The secondary school has just had half term, and the Bible school students are graduating, so I have a few days off here and there. I am nearly finished with the marking of exam papers. Suddenly the students are writing real essays in Kiswahili, not the one-liners I've had until now. Great, that's what I want them to do, but it makes marking a much longer process! Maybe I'll change the format next time...

Today Elizabeth left for her epic three month trip to England at 83 yrs old and just a month after a hip replacement and before that a broken leg. I've heard that the seven hour trip to Dar es Salaam went well, and believe God will take her safely on the plane with Rebecca her granddaughter. Prayers please!
