We've reached this weeks target!!!!

My this week has flown by! We're pleased to have hit the target for the week, everyone has worked so hard.Two nights this week the team stayed late, last night people were coming back to their rooms surrounded by us painting and others frantically sanding down door frames! Although your tiered the nice thing is after hours i think it becomes almost a party like spirit everyone who stays, stays to work because they want to help and its so satisfying to see the work done! So we look forward to seeing what residence 2b brings! eek! Check out the cheeeese below! And keep the comments coming we love hearing from you!

A MOMENT BY THE CHOP SAW!

 

Loving the muffs!!

The Team !!

Ministry in zim

I refused to sit before checking for snakes and scorpions!

 Me and the two sisters on the left had a lovely morning together the other weekend, Min is somewhat different here slower in comparison to Zambia but still good! We started a study that morning and had a really good laugh to! Turns out us English are amusing or maybe it was just me they were laughing at!

 Anyway I love the picture below Lester and the young lad above we're in what i imagine a typical min scene to look like here, but in fact our territory which we've worked this weekend is far from the below. LARGE gated houses and we spend most of our time talking to guards who are lovely but its not as easy. But its still no surprise for a publisher to have up to 9 study's! Very jealous.

Harare Assembly Hall

We went to the Special assembly day this weekend and the Assembly grounds we're beautiful, the weather was also gorgeous up until the final talk when the heavens opened so i thought it would be kind to tell you not to worry as we're not the only ones in Cornwall who have rain at assembly's, they do here to!! Its was hammering down onto the tin roofs so hard that we had a job to hear the speaker! It was a really nice program, about the conscience who'd of thought a whole day on the conscience but it really hit home its something very precious.

The Bethel speaker likened ignoring your conscience to ignoring a guard dog (an apt illustration here) he said if your guard dog barked all the time at passers by and you decided to hit it with a big stick to stop it barking what will happen when real intruders come? The guard dog will sit and watch the intruders and think go on take everything and that big stick to!!(of course everyone liked that!) He said like this guard dog if we ignore our conscience on a daily basis, then when we actually need it we will be in trouble!!

 On the work front we're getting the swing of things and i'm planning to do a hole page in the right hand column over there-----> so you can keep track of our progress give us a few days to get it sorted though. Our job descriptions we're given to us this monday after the I.S .couple came back from a trip. Lester is to keep the project on track, is to check the schedule is kept to and that each rooms finished correctly. We've 30 rooms to go and so far he's doing well with keeping the team motivated but we've only been here a week and there's lots to be done. I've been asked to look after deliveries as they arrive from south Africa, to check all the stock and keep everthing organized which is hard here!!! Then when thats done back to painting. We're enjoying the work and we're settling into routine below is a little proof that we're working! Both looking forward to our first meeting at our new congregation tomorrow, Helensvale.

 Thats all for now KEEP IN TOUCH!! (",)

Oh yes He's cleaning again!

There is food here i have no idea why Leonard is snacking on his paint brush & yes i am smidge tiered!

Now OFFICIALLY in Zimbabwe!!!

I'm typing this while listening to the African brothers cheering while playing their weekly game of footy which Lester's already been invited to join! Not today though as we landed today at around oneish in Harare which I think is 2 hours ahead of you as you've not sprung your clocks forward yet! Its HOTTER then we first thought and after we eventually found all our luggage and were allowed in the country we were met by a lovey International Servant couple who took us strait out to lunch at NANDO'S couldnt quite believe it! Then bought us back here to the Bethel which is so lovely! We were welcomed into our guest room where a bouquet of flowers, thank you cards and bowl of goodies waited for us!
Its saturday now and internet is a smidge faster so i can give you some pics! 

                                

       The Bethel Family is smaller here than it was in Zambia There are around 100 family members which should make getting to know everyone much easier!
Very green at this time of year, and loads of trees!
