Power is back

"Umeme is back!" As you stand in the market you hear this said all around you. Power is back, halleluajah! Came on yesterday and I managed to get a wash in the machine and completed before it stopped again for 5 hours, but as I write now, it is on again, for how long remains to be seen! There is quite outside, not the roar of the generators that we have got so used to in the last month! Can't believe it has taken a month to fix! Can you imagine the riots that would have happened in the UK if the same had happened.

On other news; I went with a fellow worker (who is actually on sabbatical here) to visit some local ladies in their houses, these were ladies that my friend had met and wanted to introduce me to before she leaves. It was great to have some more contacts. we stayed 2 hours in this one house, the conversation was in Kiswhaili and I am amazed to say I understood more than half of what was being said! The lady is very keen that I continue to learn the languauage so I will visit next week and take my school books with me.



We had the first dreaded email from home the other day saying there is a poblem with our house in Bristol. Our poor tenants have no hot water in the shower so Alex's wonderful brother and friends from our church (the same ones that run this blog) headed round to try and fix it, alas it looks more complicated than hoped (always seems to happen)

We are so grateful to Chris and and Jon for taking time to sort this out for us THANKYOU guys! You are superstars.

Which reminds us again how blessed we are to have so many wonderful friends and supporters, so thank you for taking time to read this and think of us, we appreciate it so much!
