About Me

We have recently applied and been successful in getting jobs at 'Amano Christian' School in Chingola, Zambia. Since getting married we have been praying about the possibility of working abroad and we now feel the timing and opportunity is right. So what will we be doing? Jona is going to be teaching science and Kerry is going to be doing youth work amongst girls in the dorms. We will be leaving in September. We would love for you to keep up to date with what we're up to!

6 days to go!

Can't believe how incredibly quick the time has flown by since I last blogged and now there is only 6 days until we fly!
Both feeling absolutely exhausted today as we have spent lots of time rushing around doing last minute bits and bobs and visiting lots of wonderful family and friends! We were really blessed by our church cell group on Saturday with a 4 course meal as a goodbye. We have been fattening up before we go by eating out pretty much every night!
This is a picture of us having a meal with some great friends from Uganda; great to hear stories about what we might expect from African culture. Gordon even showed us some 'bum shaking' African dance moves! Lots of laughs :-)

So today we both did a bit of a trolley dash in Southampton and managed to get some last minute clothes, a solar powered desk light for the power cuts we've been told to expect and other bits and bobs.

Just got home this evening and had some great news! We had an email from a Charitable Trust to say that they are going to give us some money towards our medical and travel insurance which is brill as it was pretty expensive! Feel so blessed by peoples generosity and kindness and Gods incredible faithfulness to us.

The other good news is that Number One Suitcase is fully packed and ready to go! (Mainly thanks to a husband with excellent packing skills unlike me who just chucks it in!) Woop!
