We're coming home!

Phew! We've had a really busy time... I've not had much time to write on here but it's been a fantastic trip. I've made lots of new friends and I think Zimbabwe is a lovely country. We've spent most of our time in the African township - wow! What an amazing place it is.. There are lots of bumpy roads so I've been jiggled about a lot as we've travelled - I thought that was a lot more fun than anyone else did! Pastor Iain and Jim did a great job with all the meetings they had to speak at - after the Easter Convention they still did a couple of days talking to leaders and their wives! They worked really hard and I know the people have enjoyed listening to them so much and learned a lot.

We are travelling home today (it's Wednesday) and it's a long long long journey again. It will take us 25 hours to get back! Please pray for us.

See you soon!

There are ants everywhere!

Hello,

We are having a great time here. The Easter Convention has started and we've had some great meetings. Some of the people here were helped to come by donations from friends in the Link Church, they are so happy to be here and everyone is getting really blessed listening to Pastor Iain and Jim when they speak! I really love to hear the African's singing - their music and dancing and everything is fantastic! We have good music in Link Church (especially downstairs in KFC :-)) but it's very different music here. If I was a more musical sheep I would sing some of the songs for you when we get back, but I'm not much good at singing and dancing really.

There are still a lot of power cuts but I don't mind. We just light candles when we need to see better and everything looks so interesting then. There are ants EVERYWHERE! Sometimes they even crawl into my wool. It really tickles when they start walking all over me.

We're here!

Hello again! We're finally here in Zimbabwe, staying in a place called Resthaven. It's a good place to be as we were all pretty tired after our long, long journey! We're getting a couple of days to rest though which is really important, even for a young sheep like me (I'm almost three). There have been lots of power cuts, some places don't have any power between 5 am and 10 pm - and the water can be cut off just as much. It's bad enough for Pastor Iain and Jim, but much harder for the people who live here all the time. I hope you'll pray for them. Iain and Jim fill up a thermos flask so they can have hot drinks in the day time. I manage fine as long as I can have some grass.

The Easter Convention will last for four days, and Iain and Jim will both speak twice a day every day! They are going to be so busy but the people here just love to hear them talk about God.

I'm off to Zimbabwe!

Hello! I'm really excited today because I'm on my way to Zimbabwe with Pastor Iain and Jim Storm. We're going to see our friends from Fellowship in Christ again and we're going to their Easter Convention. There's going to be hundreds of people there so I should get to make some new friends too. Pastor Iain and Jim will be able to encourage the people in Zimbabwe a lot, they've had some hard times recently. It's a long journey though - we'll be on 3 different planes before we get there! I'll need to try to get some beauty sleep because I don't want to be too tired when we get there.

Well, that's all for now, but I'll write more soon!
