Our first furlough 2010

We left Malawi on the 28th July with very excited children! 

 

We spent the first week of our furlough in South Africa with my parents.  We visited a really cool craft market......we could have spent a fortune on all the nice goodies!  We had our first visit to McDonalds and the kids enjoyed it so much!  We had to buy warm PJ's for the kids as it was freezing in SA in the morning and in the evenings.  We had 2 duvets on our bed and also hot water bottles!!!!

 

We also went to the chinese and enjoyed a surprise birthday treat for Benj.  Although the food was yummy my body did not agree and I was covered in a rash the following day :(

 

We enjoyed spending time at my parents church, Victory church and were very blessed to have some time with them, to enjoy live worship and just relax in the presence of God.  It was wonderful.

 

We arrived in the UK on the 6th August and were met at the airport by Lauren and Graham, a few tears were shed.....it was so good to see Lauren again!

 

We are so blessed to have a 6 seater car for our use whilst we are here.  God is so good. 

 

We will be enjoying catching up with friends and family whilst we are here and will also be visiting churches evey Sunday to share about Hope Village.  If you live in the UK and would like us to visit, please let us know.

 

We apprecate yours prayers for us over this time.  A time of refreshing is much needed.

Hallo Gill family, good to see you guys are enjoying a furlough, I know you work hard down in the valley! It is nice to see the pics and get some updates. By the looks of things I will start working as a full time missionary pilot for MAF from next year, not sure where yet.
Enjoy the rest of your time in the UK.
Blessings,
