All action

Greetings to you all. It has been an action packed week with lots of small jobs being done. Firstly, we now have a set of swings erected outside our house. It has been enjoyed by children of all ages as you can see by the photos.








The second picture is a nice one of Matthew and Ezra.













We have also had some extra lights put in the lounge area over the table which has made a big difference to us when we are helping the boys at night and when reading. Our tired old eyes were straining without them.






We also now have some shelves in the kitchen which has enabled us to make better use of the benches when we cook (the collective use of 'we' here means Marilyn & the boys - they really love cooking especially the cleaning of the bowels (bowls) afterwards). In addition this week we have looked after Alex who had malaria. Fortunately the medication he got from here worked well, and he was able to return to school on Wednesday. He & Simon have some important exams this week so please uphold them in prayer.





We had not intended to go to Kampala this week but Brad was taking his car in for servicing and wanted some company so we went with him on Thursday. We left about 8.30 to take his dog to the vet on the way, then the day went like this.... First stop for coffee at Chris and Juliana's place (another missionary couple from Holland) (1 hr), second stop for coffee at the Sheraton (1 hr), lunch (3 hrs - I kid you not, its tough but someone's got to do it!!!), wait for the car exploring more of Kampala (2 hrs), bank for NACMU (1 hr), shopping (30 mins) and we finally arrived home at 8 pm. Fortunately one of the volunteers, Rebecca from Canada, was able to look after the boys until we returned. All-in-all a full day out doing nothing but eating and drinking. On Friday we hosted a get-together of the missionaries and volunteers here for Pizza and sodas and had some unexpected guests as well....... tell you more in the next blog.
