Medical Evacuation that didnt quite happen...and lumberjacking :)

On Saturday we had decided as a family to clear all the branches of the trees that we had recently trimmed.  The remains of which were scattered over a fairly large area.  Some of them were used to make a small hideout that Zara and her friends played in.  However, Saturday was supposed to be the big family clear up. 

However, not long into the morning Simon got a phone call to say that a missionary in the southwest of Uganda had all of a sudden lost his hearing and needed to head out the country for tests.  Simon told Joshua he could come with him so they both got ready to travel to Kajjansi.  A few hours later they returned saying that they didn't make it all the way to their destination as the man had got another flight.  Please pray for this man that he will get the necessary testing and treatment that he needs and that he can continue serving here in Uganda.

So Team Wunderli consisted of Zara and I to clear all the leaves and branches.  We made a good start to it and have blisters to prove it (well Mum does).  Check out the photos below. The rest should be completed this week. :)

 

 Zara's Hideout

 

We have a wee firepot outside that we burn to keep the mosquitoes away when we sit outside in the evening.  This firewood will keep us going for a while.

 

We have a few avocado trees in the garden but they needed pruning because some of the ones up high were falling and breaking the tiles on the roof of the house.

 

 

I wonder what Simon is going to make out of this lot :)
