WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

Please note some additional Praise and Prayer requests! Thanks for supporting us in this way.

Thanks to all of you who were praying for Zara. She has made a full recovery from the Pneumonia and is back to being her usual self. She even went swimming for the first time yesterday which she was excited about. We hope to go to Entebbe Zoo on Saturday for Zara's birthday (May 28th). We can't quite believe she is 4 years old already. It has been a fun packed 4 years and we are so blessed to have her.

Last Sunday Zara was quite unwell with a high fever and bad cough. We took her to the Doctor where we were told she was very dehydrated. Over the next couple of days, despite drinking lots, we couldn't get her fever to stay down. On Tuesday I took her back to the Doctor and he confirmed a diagnosis of pneumonia. Thankfully with some good antibiotics and cough medicine she is recovering well. She still looks a bit pale (peely wally for the Scots) but her sense of humour has returned and her cheekiness so that is a good sign. We just pray for a full recovery and no further problems.

I was looking at our blog today and realising that its about time I filled you in on what we are up to these days apart from celebrating birthdays and escaping work for a few days :) Simon has been really busy with flying recently and has spent most of his time flying into Sudan and the Congo. The Sudan days can be long and it seems to be catching up with him at the moment. Thankfully he has a lighter schedule this week thanks to auditors who are visiting the programme. They will be doing two audits on the programme. Simon will be involved in meetings concerning the safety audit side seen as he is Safety Officer. We are hoping for a postive result at the end of the week. Amongst all of that we are planning our furlough home for this summer. We have been gathering material for our presentations in order to put something together that reflects our lives and work with MAF here in Uganda but also Congo and Sudan. Thankfully all our speaking engagements are booked and pretty much fina...

The other morning we were awoken early to flashes of lightening and crashes of thunder and heavy rain. However, once the storm abated and moved away we were able to experience a wonderful sunrise. The photos don't do it justice but thought I would share with you anyway. You just can't beat an African sunrise and sunset!

Zara was all partied out by the time we arrived home! Zara with two friends, Ivan and Deborah on the trampoline Normally we take a photo of the beautiful cake before its eaten but unfortunately that didn't happen this year. I won't bore you with the details. Anyway this is a photo of the end of the cake! I managed to find orange food colouring for the icing on the cake. This was the colour that Joshua had chosen for this years cake. Joshua and his best friend, Anguci, being silly together on the trampoline We had planned to go to the Zoo for Joshua's 6th birthday but it had rained the previous day and rained on his birthday so we had to have a plan B. Thankfully there is a restaurant in Kampala that has trampolines so this was a good alternative. We had 9 kids with us and thankfully some of the parents came too so we had a good time together.
