Me trying to look like i'm nice and that i havent seen the camera, in reality it was a set up



Once again we have been very busy, we said goodbye to Richard this morning he has been really great to work with and really inspiring. Thankyou Richard!

We've been to a very remote place called Candu (the c is pronounced like a tutting noise in your mouth) we were there to see the ecclesia there and to help out with manual jobs like fixing the waterbutts up to a hose to water the plants, simon and me also ploughed a field with an old school plough hauled by two bulls! very exciting and scary at the same time. We saw Nelson Mandella's house where he grew up, and also a very nice dog that put a shoe on for our entertainment! There was a dood there called seyanda, he kept us amused. You can find Candu on Google Earth apparantly, if you are bored.

I also ran in a wheel chair race! the special needs school Happy's enters it's kids into the annual KZN (Kwa zulu natal- the area of S.A. that Durban is in) wheelchari race, and one of the pupils asked me to push her! it was fantastic and quite an experience running along this 5k road with cars whizzing by only a metre or two away! we didn't win, but decided that just finishing the race was quite an achievement in itself.

We had an open air concert in Durban centre which by all accounts went down an absolute treat! We were singing christian songs and inviting people to come along to our Bible Education Centre to sort their lives out :)

Last night we had a suprise party for Kim Beeler's 39th it was fantastic, she had no idea it was happening and we'd composed a sort of funny song that was thoroughly enjoyed by the beeler family, which was the main thing. There was lovely food provided by char and jude.

We had nice meal for Richards leaving two days ago (monday) at a place called moyo's which is right on the beach front, all of us volunteers went, and then Christy and David White met us there for the beach after, we had fun making games up in the sand and playing noughts and crosses I think I won over all...

Love to everyone
Kiss to everyone
Hug to everyone
Matthew.
