Week two..

Week two has ended after a great Sunday trip one hundred years into the future, I mean to the city! We met some of the other workers at club (which happens about twice a month) and, much to the delight of the kids, went swimming at the beach and to McDonalds! It has been a very hot week, with another one forecast, so we were glad of the cooler air by the coast today. We were also glad to escape the flies that have enveloped our town as of late!

We have been practicing cycling through the busy, unruly streets of Camelot both for speed (as it’s normal here to walk very slowly) and to create a bit of a breeze for ourselves! We have also been practicing our language learning as Noel has begun his lessons. We have made our first traditional dish, a Tagine, so we are feeling increasingly settled in hamdulilah (thank God).

In an answer from our father Noel has had great opportunities to spend time visiting new local friends and playing football. He was also able to have a brief thought time with an American team who went to the mountain village with Roz and Becky. Tomorrow he has a meeting at the street children’s charity that he hopes to work with so please think of him.

Rachel has had a great second week of teaching and hopefully we can upload some pictures of school and of life here! Rachel would appreciate your thoughts as she tries to meet some local women and make some friends.

This week we are mostly grateful for excited hearts, answers to requests, open doors and no illness :) (just bites! And not only from the kids!)

Have a great week! N&R

1st traditional dish :)

The great escape!

Reuben likes "hanging out" with Noel!
