WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

I have updated our prayer requests on the right side of this page. Thanks for praying!

We had a rainy safari trip this time and came home with a muddy car. Simon had to get out at the fishing village and put the car in 4WD as we got stuck in the cotton soil. Thankfully between 4WD and differential lock we pulled out of the mud no problem. Unfortunately his sandals and feet paid the price. A cow and a calf outside a house in the fishing village. Not to far away was the river with hippos bathing in it and men selling fish. Unfortunately getting the car out of the mud was the priority so no pictures of hippos this time. Difficult to see if this photo as the guide said we couldn't go any closer. A Mother elephant protecting her baby which was wallowing in the mud beside the smaller elephant. The mother elephant was flapping her ears and letting us know of her displeasure at us being so close. We eventually reversed back down the track again and left her in peace.

Last week we went away for a few days down to the SW of Uganda. On the last night we experienced a beautiful sunset over the Uganda/Congo border. The colours were amazing and changed so quickly...more pictures to come of our holiday!

Last night was our second football match. It was also our second match against Kabira International school. Unfortunately due to a penalty we lost the game but this time we put up a good fight. Our team played much better this time and it was a joy to play. This time I was playing in the midfield section so I was covering the strikers and the defence. I definately got a work out. It was a fun evening and we look foward to next term where we will be playing a Congolese team and the final match will be against some senior students from Rainbow. Due to Simon being in Sudan Joshua and Zara came to watch. They had more fun playing with the other little girl who was there and doing somersaults off the other goal posts than watching Mum play football. However he was really disappointed to find out we didn't win. It is difficult to explain to a 5 year old that its the taking part that counts and if you win then its a bonus. He wasn't for buying that argument. On the way home ...

Zara's team came third in one of the races. Zara racing towards a tunnel in part of her obstacle race. I was trying to cheer her on and take a photo...not easy :) She was very careful not to step on the grass on this one. Her team won this bike race. Joshua and his other Ssese (Name of team) teammates waiting for their races. Joshua's team came first in the big shoe race. Joshua and his best friend, Anguci waiting to race. The big shoe race. Above are some of the photos of Joshua and Zara taking part in the Primary School sports day. It was a fun two days for them but it was very hot. Thankfully there was plenty of water flowing. I enjoyed watching them all and there was a great competitive spirit on both days for Primary and Secondary school. It was amazing to watch some of the upper class students run..wow they were fast!

On Saturday Joshua and Zara's school had a fun day. World Cup fun day to be exact. They were able to do a lot of fun things like face painting, crafts and there was even a bouncy castle. One of the hightlights for Joshua was a stall that sold plastic swords. He spent most of the morning running round with his friend Anguci having sword fights. It looked even more realistic when he had his face painted like a pirate. Zara's choices of the morning were to have her nails painted pink and to have a length of her hair braided. She was very patient for both activities. However, the patience didn't carry over into the next day. As we were getting ready for Church she told me that her braided hair hurt and she wanted me to cut it. I told her I would be able to help her in 5 minutes. Unfortunately our little independent daughter decided that Mummy's 5 minutes was too long and that she would deal with the issue herself. It wasn't 5 minutes later and she came into ...

It has been a while since I have blogged and so I thought it was about time I gave you a bit of an update from my side (Pam). These past three months I have been reconsidering my role as Training Co-ordinator or Learning and Development Co-ordinator as it is now called. I have been doing the job for the past 5 years. I have really enjoyed the role and it has stretched me in different areas which has been good but the time has come to let someone else take the work forward. It wasn't an easy decision to make but after making it I felt a sense of peace and joy. I will continue in this role until we leave for furlough in June. I have some training that needs to be completed before I leave for furlough so still enough work to be done. You might be asking what will I replace this job with...well as it stands I still have enough to keep me out of mischief. The MAF guesthouse which a friend and I manage is doing really well and continues to be busy with more and more teams wanting to stay...
