g'day Hi Lisa and Abbey,
Glad to read you are both well and happy. The dental program sounds like it is really needed and everyone is doing a great job. The food details are making me most envious and the weather as well. (it is only a max. of 12 degrees today)
Love Jeffrey
I can only imagine how privileged you must feel to be helping all those beautiful children. Keep safe, take lots of photos to show us and look after each other. I miss you guys!!
Sounds fun Love reading your news. Sounds like quite an adventure. Ky did you tell Lisa about how you even freaked out going across the swinging bridge at Tamborine. What's it like in the refugee camp? Keep the news coming. Lots of love from back home. XXX
Such good news Hi again,
I am so glad that your first day went well. May the Lord God Almighty grant you the ability to touch and bless these people who He loves so much. God has such a fondness for those who are poor. He does not forget them and those who reach out to them will be blessed.
Love Trish
thanks bro, had a great day setting up the dental clinic today. abbey will work with the dentist dr norli as her assistant. kylie and i will do the sterilisation and sort out the kids...bought them stacks of toys to use as rewards. hope you and fam are all well. love youxxx
Hi Hi all,
Sounds like you are having a great time. Didn't Stuart tell Lisa to check the 'workplace health and safety' record first before doing such crazy things!!
Thanks for the updates. We will continue to pray. Will be talking to people tomorrow at church who will ask about them.
Give my love to the team.
Love Trish
Hi Guys, Glad you made it safe and sound. all good here, Lotte can sympathise with you Abby because she has a really bad sinus infection and is off school again. poor thing. Hope you wern't too good with the shopping. Lots of bargains I hope. Keep well. Liz xx
Praying for you Hi, Just wanted you to know that we missed you last night at Lifegroup. Great study and great input from everyone in group including Joe. Matt had to take Georgia to Rugby but hopes to join us next week.
Life as normal, Stuart is busy, Matt is quiet, Josh is making a surprise visit home and I am busily preparing for 4 weeks of fulltime work. Am looking forward to it. Immanuel has had a tough week and so have we as Cam (Man arts teacher) and Kristie lost their fullterm baby. They are very good friends of ours.
I am looking forward to reading your blogs. It was great to pray for you both last night. Glad you are having a good time.
Love you both
Trish
Good luck Well guys, you are on the plane on your way now. Best of luck to you all and I hope that climb each day isn't too bad! I look forward to hearing all your updates. Take care, you gorgeous girls. Liz xxx
Farewell my gorgeous and courageous girls! Travel safe and you will be in our thoughts and in our hearts!
Will keep checking on your travels and adventures!
Hi Lisa. The scenes you describe are difficult to believe. Keep it all close - your impressions are vivid and will be the best thing to raise awareness to get more help for the people of Gulu. Thinking of you...Deb
'In your hearts and pockets girl' Fi and Lisa...thinking of you daily! Giving my year three class all your updates...they have you marked on the world map! The kindness of all those who love you both follows you as you walk through the worst and the best of humanity...stay safe and wise! You do have a consistent baggage problem...just things in the end but maybe Fiona shold tie her passport 'round her neck? Looking forward to the next adveture! Love you both
Hi Lisa, Great updates. Sounds like a big overhaul is needed for their system. Many prayers for those in the area and in the camps. Good wishes for the days ahead.
The long way to Gulu Well there certainly is no dull moments over there by the sounds of things. Shame about lake Victoria being dirty. I guess that is what to expect when the whole of that part of Africa drains into it. I guess you are seeing first hand what the place is like now. It will be interesting to hear your stories and how the place could be made to progress to a more equitable place... but need lots of education and local champions to make that happen.
Take plenty of pics, particularly with the Ugandan do!!.
love you xxx
