Building update

God has really carried us through and sent many folks to help out. The short term-er house is getting very close to finished. The floors is in and the place is plastered inside & out. Septic tank is complete but just needs the lid put on. Lights are in ceilings are in. Now I have to do the fitting of the bathroom and the kitchen. Toilet, basin, shower and kitchen sink with all their plumbing. After that we need to get the place painted.

Our first occupants of the house will be Walter and Rosie who in a bout a week to 10 days time leave Northern Ireland for Kenya for some Africa orientation and then they arrive in Harare on 22 October and we will be there to meet them. We can't wait!

Land Rover problem

We needed to make a trip to SA to see doctors and also to make sure Toni got organised for university next year. Yes our baby is going off to University in 2011. She has been accepted to the University of Pretoria.
On the trip down the Land Rover overheated and I thought that it was just a once off, water was low or something. But on our way back from SA to Mozambique just before leaving SA we started to notice the temperature got very hot every 20-50km. What is normally a 6 hour trip turned into a two day trip.
We have tried everything to get the problem sorted out but the problem is still there. The only thing that is left to look at is the head and or the head gasket. This is a much bigger job than I am used to dealing with. And quite frankly I don't have the time or the resources to deal with it here in Espungabera. Please pray for wisdom.

Feeling better

After a fall which I (Jinx) had while building the new Short term-er house in Espungabera, was feeling quite beat up. Thankfully nothing broken but quite bent though. We recently went to South Africa and I was able to get straightened out and am feeling much better. Still a few aches and pains but much better. Thanks for praying.
