Where does time go......

Greetings to all, it has been so long since I last wrote an update but it only seems like yesterday. However some pictures will have kept you reasonably up to date. We have had the dentists here and gone. The opening of the clinic dental room was a grand occasion with a barbeque and entertainment to follow. We had a break of 4 days away as Marilyn recovered from another bout of malaria. We stayed in a wonderful place in Jinja called Holland Park, it was just what we needed at the time with a marvelous view out over the Nile and a really restful place.
This week the P7 students are sitting their PLE (Primary Leaving Exams) so we have been putting in some extra time on study. They had their SST and English exams today with Maths and Science tomorrow. Matthew, Owen, and Timothy are finally seeing some benefit from extra study so we wait for the results early next year.
Rhode is becoming more confident with her walking which is a real joy to see though she still likes her cuddles and banana.
There has been a lot of malaria in the home recently with many children and Aunties having a bout, the place has been sprayed but it is still happening so please pray against further cases. The twins, Rose and Fleur, have been in hospital last week but seem to be improving though they need our prayers as well. October was a very busy month with visitors and volunteers arriving, we will now have a somewhat more settled time in the lead up to Christmas. We received our first Christmas card a week ago and the children are starting to play and sing Christmas carols so it won't be too long, will it........?
Well that's about all for now, we still have variable power, it is often off at night and that prevents us from using the computer much
Until next time
God Bless

    Yes you will be counting the days until Advent. One of the great benefits of being in Uganda I am sure, is that you don't have to suffer hearing "Snoopy's Christmas on the radio. All ore love. Heugh and Jen
