the weekend

Hello all,

its been good to go out to church in the villages of Arusha today. The building looked small from the outside, but inside was packed. It was a rickety old thing with an alluminium roof, but next to it there was the foundations of a bigger building. We, of course, had to sit at the front, and the singing was powerful. I don't no what it is called but the choir seemed to be hitting every note in every harmony avliable and probably a few that weren't. Their lungs are so powerful they definitely don't need a sound system. Its was amazing to sing with them and play a song as well.
We also met with Caroline of Harbour Vineyard's cousin and her husband and son which was nice. They were very friendly and generous, and I think I will be spending a bit of time with them over the summer.
We are leaving for the visit to our sponser child tomorrow, so I won't be blogging next week I suspect, but if you're reading this leave a comment. Its pretty silent arround here...and I would love to hear some voices from back home...

Hi Simon!

Hey great pictures, its fanatstic to see pictures taken by someone we know rather then from a magazine.

I hope your getting through all the bugs and heat, i mean any place is better then back home our weather can't make up its mind its just grey.

Also we saw the exhibition and it wasn't exactly 'amazing', it's kinda like the weather.

We are all praying for you and your dad. Hope your safe and stuff.

Hey Simon,
I recently found the note Robin tacked up on the whiteboard in the back room at work... It was hiding behind some very exciting looking notices from meetings and whatnot.
It sounds like you're having a great time over in Africa, those pictures are awesome! It's such a beautiful country.
I hope you and your dad are well :)
