Alison coming to Sudan

Thank you again so much for your constant encouragement via email and even on the phone (praise God for skype!).

The last few weeks have been surprisingly good and things have really calmed down here. Teaching continued as normal and I really got in the routine of teaching here – I will miss my students when they leave at the end of this week as our term finishes now. We had a big graduation service yesterday – the service was 4 hours long, but nice. I was so proud to see my students up there :-).

The situation concerning accommodation hasn’t really improved though, so I am still living in one of the classrooms with 5 other women. However, they did put UNICEF sheets in to partition the big room into smaller sections, so it actually feels like I have a single room. Unfortunately, the sheets don’t keep the noise out…

A lot of you will already know that Alison Atkinson, my pastor from Nantwich Elim, is coming out to see me here in Sudan this week, for which I ask your prayers. She is leaving tomorrow, getting to Entebbe, Uganda, on Wednesday and will fly up to Yei, Sudan, on Thursday – it always takes about two and a half days to actually get here. She will be flying back on the 2nd of April and again has 2 days travel. She is coming here to help and sort out some administrative problems that we’ve had with the contracts between Elim and ECTC, and also to see me in person – which I am very happy about! Please pray for save travel – in Africa we say that God might grant ‘journey mercies’. Please also pray that the meetings will go well and that the Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us in our conversations and decisions.

I think I keep it short for a change :-). Thanks again for your prayers and encouragement.
