Africa is hard on your kit...

So, my laptop died. Again. It seems Dell & Africa are incompatible on pretty much all levels. I'd had problems with the laptop before in NZ, but Africa seems to compound any malfunctions, weaknesses or accidents into catastrophic gear failure. :) So, this means we'll be updating the blog less often, although I still have access to my email & facebook through my blackberry.
Africa is also hard on vehicles, & old Land Rovers are notoriously fuel-inefficient, using perhaps 80l of fuel where a Hilux would use 25l over the same distance. So, we're considering the possibility of getting a newer vehicle, either through importing one, or trying to find a good deal already in-country. So, if you have a spare moment, please pray that God provides either a vehicle, or the money to get one, as our fuel costs are becoming a bit of a financial burden.
That's all for now, I need to let Ben have his laptop back, so he can keep working... :)

    We are thinking and praying for you guys. I hope that it all sorts itself out soon. Much love to you both.
