The other Wednesday night I was invited to speak at an evening Praise and Worship service at one of the most hosh posh private boys’ boarding schools in Zimbabwe. Falcon College is about 30 minutes past the Willow Park turn-off heading south towards the border. It was a great turnout from the boys … there is about 350 boys who board at Falcon and about 150 turned up for the service. It was a great night to spend with the boys and being able to share a few words with them. I think one of the things that stuck out to me the most was how polite these guys were, after the service a majority of them came up and thanked me and shook my hand … I don’t think that would happen back in OZ. Sorry I don’t have any picci’s of this event … you will just have to trust me.
Because Falcon is so far out of Bulawayo, Jodi, Gabi, Heather (a friend of ours) and I decided to spend the night at Willow Park and do just a little bit more work the following morning. Our task was to fit 20 mattress covers to 20 foam mattresses that were donated by an Ozzie couple earlier this year. These beds are looking fantastic now; when we first arrived the campers slept in a “W” position because the framework of the beds weren’t done properly and a lot of the mattress’s were old and waterlogged because of the leaks in the thatching. They look a million buck’s now (not using Zim currency), and once we are finish they will look even better (the only thing to do now is to repaint where we have welded extra supports on the base of the beds and buy some more wood for the bed heads).
