Well, we've now officially started our DTS training. We had 1 day visiting the other homes in the city, which was fascinating, particularly the HIV house, where although the children were excluded from the community around them they were still used to bring Doctors to Jesus. We were told of several miracles in the middle of their difficulties. The day involved lots of sitting and listening which meant Josiah and Gideon got bored, but they really appreciate being back at the lighthouse now.

Today, we had our first session in the classroom, going through the handbook. Josiah and Gideon had their first proper morning with Dani (their nanny) and everyone survived. Josiah and Gideon also had their first proper afternoon homeschooling, which got of to a reluctant beginning but finished in time for Gideon and Dave to go for a run in the rain together.

The weather is now behaving like it's meant to, hot and very rainy. Josiah is a bit sad that it means that he can't skate. It was great that we were blessed with some really nice sunny days last week.
