As a team we met as team at Manchester Airport 4 hours before the plane departed. Anne, James, Joseph and myself appreciated been dropped off by family. We had an excellent journey, which seemed to go so quickly despite  the 4 hour wait at Doha. We were able to share together our recent experiences of preparing for the trip including our recent experience of trawling the country for a yellow fever vacination for Joseph (which he needs to get into the country  and also our hopes and dreams for the next two weeks with our precious partners.

We arrived safely at Entebbe, collected out luggage and was greeted by the lovely Walubo Jude. As we drove to the hotel,  the boys drifted in and out of sleep while we caught up on recent happenings. The friendship with Jude is rich and we certainly are in safe hands. What a joy it is to return with Joseph who is experiencing Uganda for the first time and with James who is returning after 3 years.We certainly feel welcome back to Uganda, the pearl of Africa where some precious friends are living and ministering.

We soon arrived at Hotel Namirembe (house of peace) and had the privelege of Pastor Peter and Rose Mugabi join us for a meal. What joy to share together over food. Though shattered, our hearts were surely full when our heads hit the pillow. I can’t wait  for the missional adventure that awaits us.
