11th October 2007

It's been quite a busy week for us here at the Training Centre in Okahandja. Faye has been working with audtiors to get our annual audit completed in time for the International Board Meeting to be held in the UK in early November.. Looks like it will be ready in time for that.

I (Eric) have been working on the details for our leadership programme that we are planning to launch in February 2008, as well as supervising the staff at the Training Centre.

Larnelle has become quite enamored with softball and was yesterday selected to the team. We are very proud of the fact that on the day set aside as the Namibian Child day she was selected to read a speech at the special assembly at school. I was actually very impressed that the class teacher asked Faye and I if that was okay before speaking to Larnelle. Needless to say that both Faye and I spent time coaching Larnelle on how to read her speech, which I am told went very well.

Our Sydney is doing great at her pre-school and is learning more and more Afrikaans. Just yesterday as we walked together she informed me that she had "Baie Geld" in her bag. (Lots of money). She has a slight cold at the moment but will be up and about in the next day or so.

This Sunday I will have the opportunity to preach at the local church we have been attending - Manna New Covenant Church. Faye and I are planning to speak to the Pastor (Derek Moore) about running a Bible Study during the week, and if all goes well we see this starting within the next three weeks.



Below is a photo of Faye and the children with Faye's dad (papa).. Taken during his visit with us in August. Joshua was about one week old at the time. We enjoyed having dad visit and are looking forward to the day when others of our family and friends will be able to visit us.
