Seventh big post!

So, it´s been a funny old week, with illness, campo trips, more leavers (though not actually team members) and many other things.

Building work has continued to progress amazingly. There is now very little dirt left to clear, the foundation holes are nearly finished, and some of the concrete pillars are now well above head height! Unfortunately, Pete and Linda do not think we will get onto bricklaying before we leave next week, but we can always prove them wrong!

Youth groups are also still going well. The young children have been learning about Jonah, the older children´sclub went equally well and the older teens learnt about trust. Sunday school was also a success, with the children thinking about what gifts they have. Also on Sunday, the team participated in the evening service at the Baptist church, leading some songs, a worship dance, a drama, Jon´s testimony, and with Annie preaching on spiritual gifts. Teaching English and Music is also continuing to be a success, with less dictionary usage needed every time!

Unfortunately, yesterday lunchtime we realised that some of our stuff had been stolen from our back garden overnight. Fortunately, however, it was not hugely important or valuable stuff, mostly some clothes and a few pairs of boots.

Prayer points:
- That we would be able to sort stuff out from the ´robbery´ asap, and thanks that it was so minor!
- Illness - all of us have been ill to a certain extent over the last week, so thanks that we have mostly recovered, and prayers that we would continue to recover well would be much appreciated!
- That our last week would be productive and enjoyable, and that we would really touch people´s lives in the last week
- For Kate and Philip, who have now returned to America
- That leaders would be able to be found for the youth groups and Sunday schools we have been leading

Thanks again for your support!
