The Last Week

Gordon, our daughter Bex & her uni friend Lucy, Ann & Keith (Trentham friends) and Jayne a teacher from Abbey Hill one of our link schools arrived safely on late on Sunday night. The ensuing week has been busy catching up at Nansana and working with Rock of Joy. Jayne spent 2 days observing and then organised us all to run a teacher training day on Thursday. We spent a wonderful afternoon with the lovely teachers and our new nurse Gloria enjoying an Elmer Story Sack and a set of activities to provide some new ideas for them. it was a brilliant time with the teachers obviously feeling quite inspired and wanting to do another one this week. In June bex and Lucy are bringing a group of uni friends several of whom are teacher trainees so Jayne is working with the teachers here looking at what help they would like and will then do some training with the students in preparation for thier visit - all very exciting for everybody.

The Easter weekend has been a rest - this afternoon we are running a health seminar for parents at ROJ but all the others have gone to see the Equator !
Easter Sunday was the wettest day we have ever experianced here - storms all day. We celebrated wtih over 2000 in the cathedral at 8:00am and then at Kingdom Gospel Church in Lungujja a joyful celebration wtih over 200 peeps and Pastor Steve preaching for an hour and a quarter - at the end it was still pouring with rain and no body wanted to go home! PS & Gladys perpared lucnch for 45 peeps so it was quite a speical meal! We enjoyed soem of the fruits of their labours from the poultry project - very tasty :)
