We are staying in a Teacher Training Campus about two hours west of Durban. As you can probably see from the photos, it is way up (approx 1000m) in a mountainous region, part of the land where the Zulu peoples live. It is a truly beautiful area, with weather than rapidly varies from deep blue sky and 30C plus, to thick fog, or thunder and hailstorms!!!
I added the last one for those of you experiencing the snow in the UK; I thought you might appreciate seeing some sunshine and colourful flowers!
I (Tony) have been working on the ship currently in Durban dockyard, so have been 'commuting' at the beginning and end of the week. Next time I'll try and put some pics of the inside of the ship...there are cable and pipes everywhere, and plenty of projects to be completed. Elliot seems to be enjoying school; they had a science fair this week, and it partly featured lots of bugs, snakes etc that they had caught and identified..oh, and a very impressive smoke bomb! Patrica helped make the Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday (there being quite a few Americans here)...very yummy pumpkin pie!
We are very grateful to all of you who encourage and support us, and it was great to be able to spend time with many of you back in the UK. We look forward to being able to share with you what God is doing in us and through us in these incredible times!
