We arrived on Sunday evening after a 4.5 hour journey from Durban. I was glad to leave Durban. It was humid hot and not very safe outside. We were waiting to come here with Denise who had been part of a committee meeting at WEC HQ. In the morning we had visited a new church set up by WEC workers for refugees from the Congo. French and Swaheli speaking and then translated into English. It was lovely to be part of African worship. At the end they prayed for us. We had to kneel on the floor. Last week in our church this week in the centre of Durban.5 of us piled into the car plus all our luggage. Graham was so determined not t leave the guitar he had worked so hard to get , that he sat with it between me and him in the back and Grace squashed in as well. I am sure one of the WEC ladies prayed that boot shut.Roads were fine. No stops Sam. You would be proud of us. I hardly moved.The land was green and lush. We climbed and climbed and then reached a plateau with more hills in the distance. We dropped Gladys a black mama back at her township home before driving down Cornhill street, just like on Google maps, to Melusi and our cottage. A detached bungalow, kitchen bathroom,living room and bedroom. Clean, cosy and welcoming. Perfect. Thank you Lord. After Durban where everything was basic (no sockets worked so I couldn’t dry my hair), it’s such a blessing.Monday we didn’t have to appear till Tea at 10 am, where we met everyone – team and residents. Surprised to find all the Residents (homeless/ addicts) are white. When we visited the hospice all the patients are black. We were given an idea of what we will each be doing, I will be shadowing Lindi who is in charge of hospitality, and sorting out washing and household needs etc for the residents. Also helping in the Care centre/ hospice. Everyone has to lead devotions from time to time. Graham will be helping with the residents.-Their work programs and ministry. The couple who have been doing this work are going to Durban for a 3 months course and we have to take over some of their responsibilities. Please pray that we pick things up quickly. We said we would do anything that was needed! But at present everyone is saying take your time.It feels just like an English summer – warm and drizzly. We have had some difficulties establishing an internet connection which works, so it’s…Thursday: Hooray. The sun came out today!We had a 6 am prayer meeting to start us off, followed by …Marion did battle with an African-behaving washing machine, which never did work properly; used a different one instead – to wash the bedding for the Residents. She struggled with needing to complete an inventory of every different colour!Graham, meanwhile has found much work required on a program for the Residents, although he teamed up with Mez, who is good at coming up with a program (but has no experience of delivering it). So Graham is hoping that his experience of delivering material might complement her research skills quite well.This afternoon we went out of our rather safe, comfortable environment to take food, encouragement and prayer out into the local township. Most of the houses had a fairly flimsy wooden frame, with walls consisting of fist-sized balls of mud, then a roof thatched with long(ish) grass. The grander ones had walls of corrugated iron. None had running water. Inside there were either one or two rooms, few of the homes we visited had windows. Some had toilets.On our return Graham was not allowed to recuperate with a cup of tea, but was called on to give a Maths lesson to one of the Missionary Kids on site; he loved it. Marion did get a cup a cup of tea, but then returned to finish her laundry duties.Tomorrow Marion ventures into the Care Centre/Hospice.9 pm and we are pretty whacked!Thank you for all your good wishes and prayers.Graham and Marion
