Chris writes - has been a busy few weeks but really enjoyed having my parents over with us. Think they really enjoyed their time here and were pleasantly surprised - as it was not what they expected! We visited some of the neighbouring countries and also went to a wedding and were invited out by one of the families in the village for a traditional meal. It was amazing how much we managed to pack in but as usual we ran out of time and did not get it all in. It was encouraging though as everyone told us that we would suddenly be aware how much we have learnt since we came here just over six months ago and also how much we have changed and how accepting we have become to the driving and lack of electricity and so on. Well we are now preparing for a busy few weeks with a medical fortnight and a mission team here for a month. We will then be flying home around mid July for six weeks in the UK so the next few months already look busy! Things are going well generally and getting better at working together as a team, language is growing but very slowly - still practice helps to get better!! Thanks for reading and Zoti ju Bekofte!!
