We're here!!

Yes, there were hugs all round at Durban Airport. Brian and Jackie had had to run for one plane with Jane following on. So we were delighted to enjoy the company as Steph and Wendy drove us 60 miles through green rolling country to Mpophemeni tow
nship which lies in a wide valley full of very small homes of all sorts, all defended by fences and some big gates. Rupert, Karen and Jane are homestaying with Sanele, Brian and Jackie are with Cindy who runs Ethembeni's educational support. George and Chris are at Mama Dudu's who does HIV counselling and is really hospitable despite having fallen and hurt her leg last week. It rained all night while we got used to simple living.  We'll tell you more on our return! Sunday morning we went to the One Life Church (actually a shell under rapid construction). The worship was quiet by Zulu standards, only mild rock concert volume. The message was an excellent study on God's servant heart, followed by real washing of nearly everyone's feet! Finally we relaxed over soup and in Steph's lovely garden as we saw our programme for HIV patient visits in the mornings, school support in afternoons and talking about Jesus and His love all the way along. Love from all of us, and please pray for Liz and her family back in the UK. George
