We got past a man smoking pot and holding a rifle....
...don't worry that's just the gate man!
We are currently in the beautiful back garden of the Sealy's house, where we stayed last night in Entebbe. Our flight was 6hrs delayed, but it was great to be met and welcomed by Chris and Sue. They have been a real blessing already - having bought us mobile phone SIM cards and been to the international surgery to pick up some malaria testing kits. (We hope we will not have to use the latter!)
We have already expereinced the full force of the Ugandan weather - with a crashing thunderstorm to awake us this morning and now warm sunshine.
This afternoon we head for Kampala to stay with some other friends, before making our journey over to Ibanda.
Praise God that we arrived safely and have been so well provided for.

The immune system...

Our ability to fight against the cold/flu bugs this Christmas has been poor! However, that aside we were grateful for good family times over the holidays and we are now more or less recovered! (Nothing that a bit of hot weather can’t sort out in a few weeks…!!)
So the big off… is 28th Jan and we would both say that things are starting to feel more ‘real’ now. Our last bit of formal training starts tomorrow – this time with CMS, our mission agency. They have called it ‘core training’ so we are hoping to learn the last few gems! Other than that it is final injections, malaria tablets and insurance that are top of the ‘to do’ list!
