We trust this post finds you all well and enjoying this special time of year. Our Christmas was very different for us in that we spent it not in Uganda or Scotland but in Australia. God was gracious in that we got to spend it with some "African" friends. Some we knew by name as they were in MAF Tanzania and Kenya and the other family, the Cousleys we had spent more than one Christmas with in Uganda as well as holidays together. We had a lot of fun talking about our African experiences and the kids had a blast reconnecting.
It has been quite the month for us and are thankful we have made it through. After leaving Switzerland in November the race was on for Simon to pass his exams so we can proceed with paperwork for our more permanent visa. Thankfully, after many hours of study he passed both the flight and written exams. We give thanks for his diligence, patience and perseverance through it all.
Whilst Simon was busy the kids and I kept searching for a house. We finally found one and we moved in last week. Our belongings from Uganda will hopefully arrive in January so at the moment we are camping in the house but it's working so far.
Simon and the kids left Uganda with, what we believe now, was whooping cough. It was a rough time for them and it hasn't left simon completely yet. Joshua also managed to pick up an ear infection and also got bitten by something. So its Jurassic Park 2 - Joshua 0. He came out in a extremely itchy rash over his torso and his legs. The pharmacist knows us well now as we have tried a few potions to relieve some of the symptoms. Thankfully it is much better and he is sleeping through the night.
Thanks to all of you who continue to keep us in your prayers. We are thankful for them. Don't stop :) We have seen God provide for some big needs in a short space of time and we are thankful beyond measure.
I did promise folks I would post some photos but that might have to wait until we have Internet in the house. Don't worry I haven't forgotten.
We will continue to keep you updated when we can. Much love and blessings from Down Under!
