We have had a bit of a quieter week on the work front which has been good. Simon has done three flights this week including taking out a lady from a place in Northern Uganda who was suffering from seizures. Thankfully she didn't have one on the plane and was able to go and seek some medical attention once she reached Kampala.
Due to Simon having some time off this week he was able to do some fix it jobs round the house. It seems like one thing gets fixed and the next breaks. Praise the Lord I married a handy man. He is also in the middle of making Zara a bed. Once he is finished I will be sure to post some photos on the blog.
My workload has also been reduced this week due to key people in the programme being in Kenya at a conference. This was a good opportunity to catch up on other bits and pieces.
David, our part-time gardener, has been supported the last few months with driving school lessons and English classes. Today is his big day as he takes his driving test. Pray that it would go well and that the examiner would be fair and not demand a bribe.
Last week we had some meningitus injections. Zara did really well especially as she had to have two (Influenza and MMR). She only cried a wee bit and stopped immediately the nurse said she could have a lollipop. She had never had one before and some lessons had to be given. It didn't take long for her to figure it out though :). Simon and I also had meningitus boosters. The injections weren't to bad of themselves but I came up with a huge bruise and Simon suffered with a sore neck for the next week. We both looked like we had been beating one another up.
In past weekly updates I have talked about Sam who runs the Jesus Film Ministries here in Uganda. Today Simon is flying him up to a place called Lira in Northern Uganda to have some meetings with Church leaders as well as do some film shows over the weekend. Pray for wisdom for him as he speaks to people who have been through some horrendous experiences that God would give him the words to say. Laura, Mike, Ivan and Deborah (MAF Family) are also joining him this weekend. They plan to do some work within a local school where some of the children have suffered at the hands of the LRA (Rebel group). Pray for a safe and encouraging time for them and that they may sow some seeds of love and hope during their visit.
