Home Assignment - Swiss Style


As I write this post I am surrounded by suitcases, passports and a to-do list that is slowly being checked off.  In a few short hours we are heading off to Switzerland for home assignment.  It has been a hectic last few weeks especially for Simon as he hands over his responsibilities to others whilst he is gone.  We are looking forward to a change of pace, hopefully :) and be able to catch up with family and friends that we haven't seen in two years.

 The furlough will definitely be different this time around with Simon's Mum no longer around.  However, we look forward to spending time with Simon's Dad and other family members.

 Next Thursday Simon has an appointment with a spine specialist in Switzerland.  The Italian doctor here in Uganda recommended he get a second opinion.  Please pray with us regarding this and that God will give this doctor wisdom and insight into what needs done, if anything, to improve the situation with Simon's back.  We are thankful, however, that Simon can do most things again although he needs to be careful.  He has been back flying for about three weeks and is loving being back in his "office" in the sky. We look forward to many more "office" days for him in the future.

 I hope to give an update whilst we are in Switzerland to let you know how it is all going.  Thank you for your continued prayers for us as a family
