Simon left as planned on Sunday morning (5:30am) for his trip to South Africa. Unfortunately he never did make it on the plane. When he got to the check-in they told him he couldn't fly because his yellow fever vaccination needed to be at least 10 days old he had just got it renewed the previous week. (this is a new policy of which nobody we know has ever heard about) Well thankfully he was able to sort it all out in a clinic in Entebbe and was rebooked on the next flight out to South Africa on Monday morning. He made it in time for the afternoon session so he hasn't missed much at all. Please pray for him over these next two weeks as he completes his instrument training and check pilot renewal course. He is there with another MAF Uganda pilot so I am sure there will be some fun too.
Joshua, Zara and I are adjusting to life without him for this time. Thankfully Joshua and Zara are used to Daddy being away on occasions so its not strange to them although they are still counting down the days till his return. Thanks to all of you who are praying for us during this time we appreciate it.
