Send-off for Tula



Last Friday we had an amazing celebration for Bishop Donald and Gladys's daughter, Tula. It was particularly poignant because he spoke at our own wedding last September in Wales. In the church service it was as if the speaker was talking to Kevin and myself personally! Among other things, he mentioned that Rebecca in Genesis was ready to go even though she had no idea what the future held with Isaac.

Kevin is pictured above together with the Diocesan Secretary, Pastor Jackson Mwidowe who is responsible for getting things done when no-one else wants to! He and our new Bishop, Joseph came to visit the teachers at the school in Kilolo just before Easter, and gave us encouragement when quite a number were feeling a bit low after the headmaster left mid-April. Please pray for the staff as we all make this big adjustment.

Pastor Jackson must be a very useful person to know! Praise God for people like him. I hope the language study is still going well and the rats keeping their distance.

Dad looks a bit sunburnt in this photo, especially his nose. Remind him to put sun block on it! x
