The ups and downs of this week...

Ahh... We reach the end of another week and we now have just 4 weeks left in Kandi.

Here are some pics from this week.



Denise and her son Kevin have insisted on helping us with housework a few times a week - they are our heroes!! On Monday, we finished our cleaning session by doing a puzzle of France that Etienne's parents gave us to share with the kids here. What a lot of departments there are in that country! It was good fun sharing with them where our family and friends live and describing some of the places we've visited there.



An evening shot of the new church building. The work was progressing well. (Note the appearance of the 'walkway' on the left side of the main building...)



The sole ATM at the sole bank in Kandi broke over a week ago. Somebody has been spending time trying to repair it but it seems like there are still problems. Please pray it gets fixed soon as we need it to access funds to continue the building work!



Er... Yeah... That walkway... The wall fell on Wednesday evening. That was just a little bit stressful to say the least. Fortunately we were able to have a meeting with our excellent builder on Friday morning, where he explained what had happened, why it happened and what we need to do next. Within a week, the wall should be all sorted!



On Thursday night, we arrived at Raoul and Denise's courtyard for our weekly prayer meeting with a lot of stress, but our lively worship time and soul-nourishing prayer time soon banished all that :-) Thank God for our brothers and sisters in Christ who encourage us when life is hard!



Possibly our favourite moment of the week! Friday night meal of nutroast (thank you Mummy for sending us a dry mix !) with pasta, avocado, tomato, pea and onion salad. Mmm mmmm mmmmmm!!

A Happy Sabbath indeed :-D
