Laurie Returns! (and other stories)

Laurie arrived back from S. Africa by a commercial flight last night. He said he saw some amazing scenery - the patchwork quilt of fields of Tanzania, the rose gardens of Malawi, the very full rivers of Mozambique and the busyness of the airspace in South Africa. By the time he got home, he'd had chance to do some shopping at the amazing shopping malls. So, on the whole it was a good trip. Thanks so much for your prayers!

The plane is now going to be resprayed in South Africa. Before it left, our engineers had some fun 'decorating' it. You will probably have to click on the photo below to read what it says.

When the spray job is finished with the standard MAF logo and style, Laurie will go down to do the reverse journey.

Bethany had her first piano lesson yesterday. On a scale of 1 - 10 where 10 is 'as fun as playtime' and 0 is 'as fun as having an injection' - she rated it an 8. Not bad! She's got a fantastic teacher called Paul from the Kampala Music School. She has also been working on her recorder, and can read some basic music now.
