So things move on and on, developments in the last 3 weeks are.....Got a lot of things jabbed in our arms, this time Rich didn't faint which was an advantage. We're all good against yellow fever and rich is 2 out of 3 down for Hep B... or A... one of them anyway it says in our vaccination book so don't worry about us getting the wrong one! Turns out that yellow fever is expensive to be vaccinated against, £60 ish each and we don't even need it for Zambia, just if we ever have to go to South Africa (where we'd go in a medical emergency) from Zambia then we need it so, hopefully we never need it! In other news, Echoes are happy to add us to their short term list which we kinda thought would happen but, its good to have it confirmed. This is good news as we get added to their prayer list which is good as we need prayer... lots of prayer, also it means they help us with sorting out finances, they will forward any money on to us from gifts that people give us, plus they'll gift aid it and do all that without a charge which is good news for us.

We're about to send some boxes out to Zambia via MMN School (thomas gainsbrough) where Rich works have donated some old power supplies which we're sending out as well as some books that we've got that we'll use for teaching out there and then hopefully will people who come there after us, so hopefully it gets there within a few weeks of us. As the books are useful, for our teaching.

Our house will soon be put on the rental market, so if anyone is after a 2 bed house near the west suffolk hospital then let us know!

Tomorrow We're off up to Glasgow for our mission orientation program at Tilsley college which is in motherwell, we'll be staying with old friends of the Cornelius family the parks so Lucy is excited to be seeing those guys again. We're there til sat eve, when we head down to carlisle and then the rest of the way on sun morning. Rich is hoping to  be back in time for the F1 but, not sure that'll happen!

only 3 months to go!

Just a quick update to the blog that no one currently knows about, hopefully soon people will! So, Flights have been booked, we fly out on the 30th December at 18:50! flights were slightly more expensive that we'd been quoted back near easter so they came to £992 in total which is a shame as thats around £200 more than it was earlier but these things happen. We weren't in a position to buy tickets much earlier so you have to expect price to increase.  Also, we've had estate agents round to our house and we've decided who we'll get to be our agent and they think we can get more than we were expecting which has got to be good news.

25th november at 6pm is nitelife ex Zambia special, will involve curry, talk on mission and me and lucy talking about Zambia and what we'll be doing.

In 3 months time this will hopefully be a more interesting with more pictures and more information about what we're doing in Zambia!
