From Uganda to the UK

Toby and Sam's teacher Uncle Robert came over on Tuesday for supper. We all cooked together--he contributed pork and atapa (a traditional food from his part of Uganda) and we contributed roasted maize, ground nut sauce and rice. Kambo showed up at just the right time, as usual and it was a fun night!!

On Sunday we said an official goodbye to the church family as we walked into our last four days on site at New Hope Uganda. It has been an extremely full agenda these past few weeks. Trying to juggle the daily responsibilities as well as getting ready to leave our house and work for five months was a recipe for tiredness, and unfortunately sickness as Geoff and I both fought illness while packing and tying up final preparations. It was MORE THAN hard to say good bye, especially to the children in David Family. I couldn't hold back the tears as we drove away from the house and the friends who had come to pray for us. 


And, in less than 24 hours we were in a different world . . . what a whirlwind!




Walking down High Street
We're spending a few days in England before flying onto Denver to spend Christmas with Geoff's family. At present we are staying near Broadway in the Cotswalds and took this morning and early afternoon to explore a little.

Yummy fruits and vegetables!

A little tea time

Perhaps this isn't the most exciting blog you've ever read, so forgive us for being a bit tired and enjoy the pictures!

There are many walking paths near where we are staying and we intend to explore as much as possible!
