Pineapple's and bird song!

We were up at 5am this morning - and that is by choice, not because a
timetable demanded it.
This early you can hear the most incredible bird calls. Hard to write down
but I promise to do a bird imitation when we get back.
We had a cop of tea under Bernadette's huge cashew nut tree.
Pastor Teixeira arrived even before breakfast to meet us. It was very nice
for Libby to see him again.
Then we had to repair our Toyota which wouldn't start due to a flat battery.
We tried jumpstarting, then with a tractor pulling. In the end we replaced
the battery and the car worked fine.
We saw all the buildings on the compound and everything is in incredibly
good service. The clinic and the classrooms are spotless and the sewing
rooms and shop and vibrant with all their indigenous colours and patterns.
We spent the entire day fitting a DVD system and speakers. Bernadette bought
them last year November and trusted us with the installation.
We got it all working by about 6pm and it was a pretty difficult job.
Pastor Martin came past while we had our tea. He wanted to show us his new
50cc motorcycle. We all looked suitably impressed and he was clearly very
proud. Before he left he asked us to pray for him to ride safely on his
bike.
Libby and Nicki are giving a lot of attention to 14 month old Felix who
lives with Bernadette at the moment.

It is a lovely, lovely home Bernadette has made for her and many others.

We are thankful that we all get on so well together and that we are able to
experience this special place.
We pray that Pastor Martin will ride safely on his bike and that Felix's
grandma will be treated in the hospital.
