Well, today is our day off, and the internet is working realy well, which is a bit of a rarity. We have been into the city, it is so spread out, and there is very little to do here, but it does make relationships more important.
We're very involved in the children's and youth work that the church does, both at the church and it's community center. Saturday was a fun afternoon with the children from the poor area coming to the community center. We did a presentation, shared a message and then had a treasure hunt and some games, it was great, and really helps us to build up relationships.
Josiah is finding it much easier to have relationships with other kids here, and he's very popular particularly with the girls. Both of the boys love it here, which is strange as there is really very little to do in your freetime (we don't have much freetime so it's not really a problem for us)

Hey, well done! Keep pressing on, feel hugely grateful to God that we have SO much at our disposal here. You really inspire us all to just get on with it here! Glad the boys are making friends, loved pic of you all.
Love and prayers

The hectic timetable made us gasp but great to see you enjoying a day off. It's super to hear about you building up relationships with the kids. So encouraging to hear that Josiah is popular, and that both boys enjoy living there.
