Its been a busy weekend, on Friday I travelled up to Luton to met up with James and Emily who are also going to be be with Geoff and me in Zambia. It was an afternoon of checking that all our paperwork was correct and a big decision, what to do with my body if I should die. I'm happy to be buried out there, so I'm praying that Jon and Anna will be happy with that. As a Christian I can't be worried of my earthly remains, after all its my Spirit that God's interested in. Or is that really bad theology - I wish I knew more about such weighty matters but up to now I've not had to think about them. Well here's hoping that a don't get eaten by a crocodile or hungry lion!! Well I suppose if I did there wouldn't be much left so why am I worried. Lets hope its quick as I don't fancy dieing slowly.
Anyway, back to this weekend - after Luton a very slow journey to Godmanchester, a really pretty little town near to Cambridge. We were warmly welcomed by Dorne, who fed us handsomely and then onto bed at Roger and Annette's house. After breakfast we were at Godmanchester Baptist church for the Zambian Orientation day. Folk from all over the country started arriving from about 9.30 am. By 10.15 we were busy in team groups finding out who would be with us during the two week team visits. We had some very big circles of chairs (the groups who will be coming out during the school holidays) and smaller groups especially the last two in September and October. Two young girls in the first group, looked at each other when they arrived and immediately knew each other because they had both been at New Wine.
