Happy New Year!

After a rather sorry state of affairs at Christmas with Craig ill in bed :-( the New Year has got off to a good start. New Year's Day we had a very relaxing morning after the all of us, including Leo and Bethany stayed up to see the New Year in (though Bethany only made it to 11pm). Then we headed off to the Lake for a late lunch and a dip in the pool. Since then the weather has continued to be lovely and hot, so the kids have been enjoying having the paddling pool out.

Craig, now fit and well again, has been dashing around with Emmy and George finalisiing all the paperwork for the Bakiga Community Projects' application to become a NGO.  They plan to head up to Kampala sometime next week to put in the application and also to pick up our work permits, which we hope will have been stamped.

Claudia has been preparing to teach at the annual Diocese Conference taking place at the Cathedral.  She will be teaching the children on Saturday but before that she has been given some time in the main adult meeting to share about the developments and completion of the Sunday School Curriculum.  This is an exciting opportunity, as people from all over the Diocese will be attending and it is hoped many will take the curriculum back to their churches.


Preparations continue for the Crosslinks Smile team who are coming at the end of the month.  The beds have been installed with mosquito net poles and Charity is busy cleaning everything, ready for their arrival.  Please pray for the team as they prepare to come http://www.crosslinks.org/smile/uganda-gap-team-2012

We wish everyone a very Happy New Year from here in Kabale and look forward to sharing all that God is doing here, over the next year.
