Week four update

WE SAW GIRAFFES!!!!

If you were to ask Lou how half term was, those would probably be the first words out of her mouth. 

We got back from Nsobe game camp yesterday afternoon, after having a really wonderful couple of days away with a group of the other staff.  Because of a clerical error, we were given the best lodges in the place for an outrageously cheap price, which were located about 5 kilometers from the main camp, and which was a popular feeding ground for the resident zebras, antelope, impala, and other varieties of deer.  So it was all quite special.  We had a great time enjoying the beauty of God creation and getting to know some of our new friends a little better.

The students are now back after half term, and we're just getting back into the swing of things.  Both Matt and Lou will be teaching a little more this half term, so we've got lesson plans to do on top of our normal dorm duties, which will be somewhat increased this term because the German volunteers will all be leaving in the next couple of weeks.  This means we shall be quite stretched for the last few weeks of term.  So please pray that God will provide us with energy to work our hardest for the entire term.

It's continuing to get easier for Lou in the girls dorm as she gets to know the girls a little better each day.  We're praying for deeper conversations, that we can be encouraging and helpful for the students as they learn more about Jesus day by day.

Thank you for all your support and prayers,

Matt and Lou
