Simon was called on last Thursday to do a medevac (medical evacuation) for a man upcountry. He was very ill with malaria and possibly typhoid also. When Simon arrived at the destination the man was visibly pretty sick. Simon flew him down to Kampala to go to hospital for vital treatment. We haven't had an update yet on his status but pray that he was able to receive the correct medical treatment and is on the road to recovery.
On Saturday Simon flew out to the West of Uganda to a place called Bundibugyo. This town is on the border of Congo. The team he flew out were going to be putting an inverter system in for their mission organisation. The plan was for MAF to fly them in and then they would stay overnight and return by bus the following day. This journey takes just over an hour by plane but many hours by bus. I know which one i would choose :). Thankfully Simon has had experience with inverters (a system that enables power when the main source of electricity is off.....a regular occurence in Uganda) as he put our one in and also the MAF guesthouse. Due to this he was able to spend the day helping the team put it all together which meant they finished earlier than planned. Because of this he was able to bring the team back in the plane to Kajjansi which meant they didn't have to take the bus the next again day. Praise the Lord for a handy husband!!!
