As we have said before this period in the UK (probably until early 2011), our furlough, is for a number of reasons: for us to reflect on the last few years, to reconnect with family, friends and supporters, to raise further support (our new assignment in Uganda will be significantly more expensive than Tanzania), and to work in the Wycliffe recruitment department.
Although we will enjoy holiday time on our own, with family and friends this time is not just an extended holiday! These next few months are an important part of our assignment with Wycliffe. There will be lots of work happening in this time, though it will be more varied – we will continue with some Literacy work from Mbeya at a distance, we will speak at various churches and we will be working whilst staying at Horsleys Green near High Wycombe, the Wycliffe Bible Translators UK headquarters, from September onwards.
Our plans for the next few weeks are to get Liz’s health issues sorted (visiting doctors and hospitals), debrief on our last couple of years with Wycliffe, and to continue with our Literacy work from Mbeya. Of course we’d love to see you as soon as possible so do get in touch and we can try and work something out.
From July onwards we are still hoping to be able to follow our original travel schedule, which in case you need a little reminder, is as follows:
| 12 – 25 July | Sheffield |
| 26 July – 4 August | Avonwick, Devon |
| 5 – 10 August | Cardiff |
| 10 – 15 August | Pembrokeshire |
| 16 – 30 August | Avonwick, Devon |
| 1 September – early 2011 | Horsleys Green, Buckinghamshire |
During the next few months we would love to share our experiences with as many people as possible. If you would like us to come and share at your church, group or event please do get in touch and we can try and work something out.

I work in IT at HG, so you'll come across me. I'm glad we've got someone in Recruitment after Mark's gone.
