Thank you to all of you who responded to our
'we're coming home for Christmas' mailing a couple of weeks ago. It is good
to know that many of you are keen to see us and have us share what we're
doing with you.
The reason that we haven't responded sooner is
that we have been away on a couple of trips.
The first (large doctor team) trip to Moz was
cancelled at the last minute - well the night before anyway when the
Mozambiquan National Health Director suddenly decided that they didn't need
any medical help after all. This was however replaced by another three day
trip at equally short notice.

The
second trip was last week when we took another team in three planes to work
at a hospital in Zambia, one hours drive north of Victoria Falls. Some of
the group did medical work whilst others completed various construction and
maintenance tasks. There were also a few pastors who attended to ministerial
things. Cathy was able to come along and enjoyed working in the maternity
unit as well as driving out to a couple of clinics. Here's a pic of her on
baby weighing day. She also did almost 100 ante-natal checkups - sometimes
on the floor or on a school desk - right.

<<It is a long story of how we got it but Paul
was able to fly this trip in Mercy Air's new Beech Baron.
>>>Paul was busy with practical things and one of the most satisfying jobs was building some swings for a church pre-school. |

So, we'll be writing to many of you personally
this coming week to start arranging our itinerary and we look forward to
hearing from many more of you soon.
