weekly bread


This doesn't happen very often - once a week is enough! Here's the amazing wood burner cooker which keeps us sane at the same time as working us hard! When it's alight and burning, everything happens, including bread baking, cooking meals and hot water for tea, bucket showers, filling thermoses and tomorrow's shave! This last is a new development for me, and it's definitely better to get the hot water ready and into a thermos the night before, as life is quite a rush in the mornings.

We start work at 7.30am most days, though on Mondays and Fridays it is 7.15. That seems a lot earlier to me. Getting to school only takes a few minutes, and the students all line up outside before classes start at 8am. I rarely teach at that time, and have been going back to the house for a rest most days, while Kevin works in the computer laboratory on a proposal for the development of the lab. Thanks for your prayers. We are both enjoying the break during school holidays, staying at the campsite while Kevin studies language and I mark exam papers - lots of essays in Kiswahili. It's good to read how much the students understand the Bible - pretty impressive.
