A little experience we thought we'd like to share. A few weeks ago now a local man from one of the farms near by came to the Bethel gates in desperate need of help. His wife had just given birth and he had no way of getting her to the hospital, SO two from Bethel take the husband, wife and new born baby umbilical cord still attatched to the local hospital. Mum and baby are both fine. The new family arrive at our gates here two weeks later Mum and Dad both proud to show their new baby and tell the brothers that they have named him Bethel because of the kindness shown! They also asked for a bible study, all because the brothers were kind and gave them a lift to the hospital!
All is going well this end of the week I haven't updated the work schedule for a while as it has now changed and a little more work has been added. We have enjoyed having some extra hands the past two weeks a couple who applied to help at this Bethel during there holiday time came and we are so grateful for their help. Also we have a brother joining in our team next week who has been reassigned from kingdom hall construction to help with the renovations of the branch here! Good timing as we go to vic falls and on safari next week so the extra hands will be a relief for the team! With four rooms left to be completed and the corridor then we move on to a few other rooms to complete we see the end fast approaching!
We're glad your finally enjoying some sunshine and you will be glad to know its finally hotter with you than it is with us! No doubt you will all be browner then we are on our return next month! Lots of love to you all x usx

Lions and Tings
Its taken a a little while to write again as moving rooms and getting back in routine took a while but here we are in a new room (air con and heater yay!) as the old one is now half way through its renovations, Its amazing to see how far our work has come as we look back down the corridor to where we started its encouraging to see how little is left. 2 single rooms 3 double rooms the hall way the family room ( a room that can be hired out for people to associate for the eve) and the infirmary all left to be completed by august the 23rd!!! At this moment we are still on track! We dont take many photos of work because we're to busy concentrating to be honest but we had another nice weekend out with some friends last week. Locally there is a lion park where the lions are captured and taken, a small game drive and also a small snake park so we spent the day with the animals and got really close to them which is always nice! It was a great day and ended with a goodbye party for Tim and Simone who are Iv's from London. Simons sister and brother in law are Bethelites here Gareth and Vanessa Jones (Gareth was originally in Liskard congregation! Small world)
Our favourtie part of the day meeting this maaaahooooosive taughtoise he's one of the giant tortoise mentioned in the August awake and has "APPARENTLY" lived for around 300 years, but we are told this as tourists and i don't think they actually live that long!
And Bellow you see how close we were Gareth decided to get to go off road and wind our windows down mine but stuck so i was a tad stressed being so close to this chap below!! But they are reasonable close to humans when we go camping at the end of the month thats when we'll be in their territory so hopefully we'll get to see some for real in the wild!!
As you can tell by now me and Lester LOVE chameleons!!
This little family got so close while we had our pick nick the mum was so nosey!
Babys! White lion cub and normal at feeding time!! So all in all nice day out and only down the road! Hope all is well at home keep in touch, thinking of you all!
