The fated day had arrived. That day was Sunday. It was time for my Mum to return to Scotland. Airports are fun places to be at when people arrive but not so fun when they have to go. We were sad to see her go as it was becoming normal just having her around. She helped us a lot in the time she was here and I am sure she went back home for a rest. :) Joshua, in particular, took it badly and even cried in the afternoon saying "I miss Granny". We consoled him with the fact that we would be home in the summer and see her again then.
Yesterday more guests arrived. Due to a change in plan we had to put these guests in our MAF Guesthouse as their original schedule meant that they overlapped with Mum's visit. Anyway we decided to give our guest room a break and keep the plan as it was. Hillery and Helena are here in Uganda to see the Life of Christ play take place in Kiwangala, near Masaka. To give you a bit of a background. Hillery Ingram Smith used to be my Bible Class teacher at Wester Hailes Baptist when I was a wee lass. We were reacquainted again through this Life of Christ play taking place in Uganda. It is amazing to see how God orchestrates things to work out in ways we could never picture. She has been the costume designer for this play and has been working with local seamstresses and Pastors since June last year. She made an initial trip in June 2008 and then a following trip in August 2008. Now she is here to see the production with a friend from Church. It is exciting how God has opened doors for this play and we pray that many will understand the Gospel because of it and come to a new life in Christ. Please pray for this minstry that God will make Himself known not only in this area of Uganda but that it might spread further afield even into neighbouring countries :)
As I write Simon is overnighting in Sudan. He is picking up a team from a place called Kauda tomorrow. We pray for good weather for him as we have had quite a bit of rain and storms the last couple of days. It seems rainy season has started early. The fun rides to school are about to start. :) Praise the Lord for 4WD!
Well it has been a busy day and I am also struggling with the cold and sore sinuses so I think it is time to call it quits for the night.
