A trip to the safari park!

Hello!

Today we had a day off and we went on a trip to a safari park. Even though I've seen wild animals in Africa before (and so has everyone else on this team) it's always amazing to see them again and think that God made them all. I know how much fun my friends in Link Church have when they do things like drawing, painting and making models and things, they love being creative. So today when I was getting my photo taken alongside a giant tortoise (it was huge!),crocodiles(their jaws were soooo big!) and a lion (it's roar was the loudest thing I ever heard!), I began to think God must have had a lot of fun making all the animals in this world - and everything else too!

After we had seen some animals,there was a really great thunder storm - very LOUD crashes of thunder, flashes of lightning and the rain poured and poured down. I am not like most sheep and some people because I like thunder storms, they are very exciting and noisy. It was good we had the car to sit in while it was going on though because we didn't want to get wet in the rain.

Our visit here will soon be over-tomorrow we will be at a church in a place called Hatcliffe Township,then on Monday we start travelling home. Please keep praying for us!

Our third conference!

Hello,

I can't believe we are already at the final day of our third conference! We've been so busy and time has flown by. We're all tired now so please pray for us. I've been thinking a lot about Psalm 23. Did you know David wrote that Psalm after he'd been thinking about how a shepherd looks after his sheep? It says "He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul." He wanted us to know that God helps us get some peace and rest, just like shepherds help their sheep find peaceful places to have a rest. Tomorrow is a day off for all of us so we will be able to chill out a bit more then I think!

Angela was teaching about healing again yesterday and two more people were healed! It's so exciting to see God touching people and making them better again, and I know the people who live here and have listened to what Angela has been teaching them will keep praying for other people who aren't well and more people will be healed.

I bet you are all watching the Royal Wedding today! I'm sorry I'm missing it but I'll be able to see all the pictures and you can tell me your favourite bits of it when I get back.

Happy Easter!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a great time today remembering how Jesus rose from the dead! I was thinking about you all singing "O Happy Day" in church today - I'm sure you did it really well and hope the grown ups joined in too. I hope we can sing it again together when I get back as it's one of my favourites now and I've been baa-ing it all day!

Today we had this amazing trip down a hill on a track that had lots of HUGE potholes! I was very glad Angela was taking good care of me because I didn't want to fall into one of the holes, they were very deep! But it was quite exciting too. Tomorrow we are going to a place near Kariba Dam for two days.

Thanks for praying!!

Wow,what an amazing day! Angela asked me to say thank you to you all for praying. She did a great job talking about healing but what made her (and the rest of us!) really excited was that God healed lots of people this afternoon. The first lady Angela prayed for started singing songs of praise to God - she had not been able to speak or make a sound for two years because she had a stroke! I thought it was wonderful that the first thing she used her voice to do was to praise God after He healed her.

There are hundreds of people here, it's been great to see some of my old friends again and to meet some new ones! A lady called Barbara has been looking after us very well. We're staying with her and she is giving us our meals. I like her a lot. I don't think she's ever had a little yellow sheep to look after before but she's doing very well!

Please keep praying for us!

We're in Muzarabani!

Hello!

Here we are at last in Muzarabani.. It's so good to be back here and see our good friends, Pastors Simon and Silent, again. We had to get up really early this morning to leave at 5am! We were soooo tired after our long journey but also excited to be coming here for the Easter Convention. It starts this evening - last year more than 400 people came and this year we are expecting even more to come!

We would like you to pray about tomorrow - Angela is going to be speaking about healing and the Pastors and trusting God that lots of people will be healed. Please pray for Angela, that God will help her while she is talking to the people. Please also pray that God will heal the people who are sick or hurting.

I'll write later and let you know how it goes!

We're off to Zimbabwe now!

Hello!

Well, I had a wonderful time in Athens with all my friends, and it was so exciting to see Courage again! He really liked my new look (actually, it was really my old look but he'd never seen me with my proper lovely wool before...)It was a bit sad to say goodbye but not so bad because we're going to see lots of each other this summer. Courage is coming to Scotland with some people from Athens Link in June, and then I'm going back for a holiday with Katie and Joshua in July!

Pastor Iain and I have just had enough time to wash our clothes, have a bit of a rest and get our suitcases packed again because tomorrow we're off to Zimbabwe! Some of my good friends are going with us too - Norma, Jim and Angela. We've got a very busy time ahead of us because they will be speaking at an Easter Convention and at two leaders conferences! We are also going to talk to some people about how the people in Link Church Dunfermline can help people in Zimbabwe to look after boys and girls who don't have Mums or Dads. I've heard that there are a lot of children without parents in Zimbabwe which is really sad. But God cares about every single one of them and one way we can show our love for God is by doing things to help these children too. I'm sure we'll all be able to get involved in that which will be great!

Keep checking my blog while we're away - I'll write whenever I can!

Courage here...I'm so glad that my friend Mercy is back in town! We were reunited at the barbeque, and have had so much fun together already!

We hung out with great friends!


We listened to awesome worship music together!


And sampled some BBQ fixin's!


Can't wait to see what we do next!
