Well, well, well again

Greetings to you all and welcome back. Thank you to those who have commented on the lack of entries lately. I did write a blog a week ago but half way through writing it, we lost internet network so that was lost.
The last two weeks have not been good for us health-wise, but we are well again now hence the title of the blog. Since I last wrote about the babies, Marilyn contracted the stomach bug and was laid low for four days and then not to be outdone ( we can't let Marilyn have all the fun) Warwick also got a touch of diarrhea (I've learnt how to spell that really well) and had to rest for a couple of days. Thank you to those who have been praying for us, please don't stop!!
During this time we had Aunty Marjorine staying here also and she was a real Godsend. The washing would be on the line by 6.30am and the cleaning done after breakfast. In the afternoon the ironing would be done before dinner, whereas Marilyn is doing the ironing now(at 8.50pm). Anyway, it was great while it lasted and we look forward to working with her as she takes charge of the girl's home next door soon.
The Aunty who was to come and try out for here, has had to return home so there are no immediate plans for us to move, which we are not unhappy about.
However, things have been moving at quite a pace on the other side of us. A section of the jungle has been cleared ready for the construction of the third family unit as there is a team from Holland who are coming in about 10 days time to help with the building, so our 'quiet' space is no more. We will soon have neighbours on one side and building on the other. The crew who have done the clearing are all women who are parents and they chatter away and we are sure we provide them with much amusement, especially when we try to talk to them in Lugandan.
Today we had Raghma down in the afternoon and she is starting to regain some of the spark she had before she got sick. It was alarming to us how quickly babies can lose condition and dehydrate in this climate, we are thankful for the care they have received and that they are all improving. It was a particularly nasty bug that infected them.
There is concern here in Uganda about the political and social climate as we get closer to elections early next year. There has been an increase in theft and corruption, threats against Government and individuals, it is like a dark cloud hanging over the country. We are praying fervently against evil forces, your prayers would help too. Please be assured that we are safe here in the compound, though we do need to be vigilant about theft, we have been 'lucky' so far.
I will try to get some pictures posted separately, but for now
God Bless
