Some exciting news for Zimbabwe and us!




Sorry its been a few weeks but we got around to a post at last! Lots to tell you about life in Zim and the exciting news for Zimbabwe and especially Harare, Last week it was announced that in 2014 Harare will be holding its First ever international assembly this will be the only one in Africa! The Brothers were so excited at the announcement the applause went on for ages and was SO loud, people even cried!! Its means that rather then holding several small district conventions in the capital city they will hold one large one which the whole of Zimbabwe are invited to and they will hire the 60,000 seater stadium, where 3000 international delegates will join the brothers.The delegates will be entertained by the local brothers and also have the opportunity to go out in the ministry in and around Harare. Imagine 3000 extra people on the ministry in our territory back home that would make an impact!!
Once the brothers had settled after this announcement they were then told they was going to be a special meal in celebration that same day the applause was off again and we were all called to be quiet otherwise we wouldn't be able to get to work!!
So After this excitement we have a little news of our own, We are almost 90% sure that we will be staying an extra month here in Zim, for several reasons really. Its so nice to have been asked and you can see by the work schedule that we're due to leave before the end of the project and to be honest they would like our help, it does seem a shame to leave a few weeks short of finishing. We will confirm for sure when all things are 100%. Also We have Been asked if we'd go on a camping Safari where we're almost defiantly going to see lions which we're both desperate to see the in wild! Many here say where we will be camping you can hear lions roaring as if they're near by (ahhhh!) So lets hope we see them but not to close! After the three nights camping we'll get to recover in a lodge at Vic falls for a few nights. Oh and we will also get a District convention here in Zim. SO this last month we're sure will zip by but in the mean time mountains of work to be done, i'll update you on that in the work bit over there>>>>>>>.
Show off!!! Keep out for crocks!

I've posted some pictures from our much needed dose of water at the dam. Everyone decided to go as a celebration of finishing their hours for April so we had a Braai (BBQ!!!!!) and attempted water sports.
That's all the news up to date so bye for now and hope all is well with you! X US X
Yes yes that is Leah in the back ground ( not!)
My feeble attempt at knee boarding!

 

The aim of the game, GET LESTER OFF IT! BRILLIANT FUN!
