Oh my it's been a while!!!!

HI everyone! It has been such a long time since I have been on here! I am sorry! There is alot to say now though!

School is going well and I feel like the kids are making real progress now with their English. They are certainly alot more confident to speak now. An inpsector came into my class last week and she was impressed with the English so that was great!

Spiritually and emotionally the children are asking really interesting questions and am able to have deep conversations about Jesus with them. For example one child asked me last week - would Jesus have been white? Another child asked ...is the devil real? I was able to sit with them and look at what the Bible has to say about some of these issues and more. It was so good to be able share truth with them and watch as they were receiving it!

We have some problems with the hostel at the moment which I can't go into on here in much detail but lets just say that the orphans and vulnerable children who live there may not be able to live there soon. Please pray for a solution!

Our new principal at the school is a good man and is doing a wonderful job at the school. The atmosphere is calm and the children and staff respond well to him - great news!!!!

The church I attend in Rehoboth have asked me to lead a ladies aerobic class each Friday evening which I am excited about! It will be a praise and worship style exercise class. Feel priveledged that theyasked me and am looking forward to starting it and meeting more people.

I had an amazing holiday in Zambia (Victoria Falls) a few weeks ago. Was a trip I will never forget in terms of amazing experiences (gorge swinging, zip wiring, riding elephants and walking with lion cubs) and the company (our team and we met guys and gals there from UK/ America). We had so much fun and great converastions!!!!

So now I on the latter end of the school term and my brother come out to see me on 25th April which will be excellent! Term ends on the 29th April so he will come to school for a few days with me to get the full experience.

Think that's all for now!!!

Hope you are all well!!!

Love Catherine
