I know that many of you will be keen to know the situation with the rodents in our building -I have decided to refer to them as mice (not rats) for 2 reasons - the ones I have seen are small with the appearance of field mice (or town mice) - ans we have bought a mouse trap to try to eliminate them. Night one saw the trap bated with left-over BFC (Beira Fried Chicken) and in the morning the bait was gone and the trap not sprung. So last night I purchased sausages to tempt our rodent friends - in the morning I found the trap had been sprung (I was woken by a distant snap) and the bait was still there. A note was left by the girls who had been sleeping in the lounge to say that the cat who has appeared yesterday was seen poking the trap and setting it off - but probably was scared off so didn't return to eat the sausage. Let's see what tonight brings!
This morning we went in search of paint, scraping materials, polyfilla etc. to spruce up the lounge - Marion has been wanting the brown wall neutralised for ages. William Karshima (a YWAM visitor from South Africa, originally from Nigeria) has been helping us - you can see him and Bob preparing the wall for painting and Phil meanwhile looked at repairing some of the electrics. Meanwhile the girls went shopping for Dondo and returned frustrated without the items they really wanted.
This afternoon we were invited to the Youth group in Pastor Bonga's church which consists of about 20 people aged 15 - 25. We had an opportunity to give a testimony and introduce ourselves as well as giving "a word" (luckily I had brought a Bible)!!These evening we have just returned from praying on the beach with about 25 people which was another opportunity to see how things are done here and introduce ourselves again. I think we are all finding these experiences uplifting - even if we are taken out of our comfort zone. Tomorrow we are splitting up and half of us will be at Pastor Bonga's church with the puppets - the others go to Pastor Boniface's church, where we will all meet up for lunch.....

good to hear that your furry friends are getting smaller by the day instead of bigger as tails (oops!) tales normally go!
keep up the good work
Dave I think you need to visit Phil Gregg your glasses obviously need changing. The rodents I saw last year were much bigger than field mice!!! Your trap hasn't worked cos they are too big for it. Lol
Glad to see the men are hard at work and that brown is on the way out. Have a great and blessed time at church tomorrow, we are praying for you all.
Love
Jackie
