Back to England for 7 but two remain

Well the 'Magnificant 7' left yesterday and it's all gone a bit quiet. The did all achieve a lot though.
Electrical fittings changed, walls painted crockery and cutlery for Dondo bought, bottled GAS Cookers for both Inhamizua and Dondo bought. Prayerful support given, Sermons preached faith deepened and friendships made or made stronger. And that's only some of it. Julia who was unwell for some of the time is now safe in the loving arms of her family and the doctor.
No photos today as I'm doing this from an internet cafe - 30Mtn for 1 hour that's 60p - as by the time we got back from Inhamizua Boniface had locked the office and with it the possibility of uploading photos. Dan was miffed as he had planned to Skype people. That was hard for him but I dare say his inginuity will improve as time goes by.
We should be collecting the cookers tomorrow, well that's what Pastor Bonga told me today, we will have to see if it happens. We are going to Dondo to do some work out here tomorrow - Saturday - we aim to paint some of the outside of the building and replace some of the electrical fittings.
Talking of electricians, William my trainee (bright and quick to learn) has got Maleria and seems to be quite poorly. He has tablets and says he's getting better but he seems quite weak. Please can you all pray for him and for a full recovery and no lasting damage. We are so lucky.
Better go now as my internet time is running out.
Let's see what challenges God puts before us tomorrow.
May God bless you all richly and may he persuade you to support the Casa Reom Trust. Get in touch if you want to give to the work we are doing.

Oh to be with you both! It's great to be home, but so sad to not be with the family there. I hope your last few days are fruitful Phil, and suspect you are looking forward to uninterrupted computer use Dan! Love to you both, Coz x

Hi Phil & Dan,
We will be praying for William, it seems that malaria comes on suddenly - let's pray it goes away as fast. Good news about the cookers, hope you are able to post pictures on the blog. Sad to have left you all - send our love to everyone.
God Bless you!
