Hospitiality

It says in the Book of Romans that we should practice hospitality and God has blessed us with many opportunities the past couple of months. The people that have come through our house recently have been a real encouragement to us and have been a blessing to us. As I mentioned in a previous post my Mum came to visit for a month and the timing was perfect. She was a great help especially after my volleyball accident. Thankfully my foot is doing a lot better and I am comfortable driving now.

After Mum left we had two friends from the UK visit. Both of whom used to be in my home church when I was a child. Hillery, in fact, used to be one of my Bible Class teachers and we reminicsed about all the practical jokes that us kids got up to on her watch. (I am surprised she wanted to stay with us..thankfully my practical joke days are finished) Its a small world and its amazing that we would meet again after all these years in Uganda.

Hillery's main purpose was to come and help with putting a Life of Christ play/drama together. She works wonders with costumes and was asked to come and help this local Uganda church in this particular area.

June's main focus was counselling and she had an amazing time at a course run by the Uganda Counsellling Association at the beginning of the trip and then went to the village with Hillery and helped there. She was also able to counsel some individuals. It was a busy schedule for them but
we had a great time and we look forward to their next trip here and what God is going to do through them.

Our guest room had barely cooled when our next guests arrived. (the day after) A couple from Church who are in between ministries at the moment were needing a place to stay and our guest room was free!! They will probably stay with us for a couple of weeks till they sort some things out. We truly have enjoyed having a full house and Joshua and Zara think it is great. Zara is already asking when we are going to pick up Granny at the airport again!!!
