Christmas & Camping
I realise that we are already well into January but I thought that many of you would still be interested in our Christmas news. For us it still feels a little like Christmas since all of our cards have arrived in January so I still have them up.
Prior to Christmas we had the visit of friends from the UK, Nick & Aileen White. They brought some Christmas treats and a new bicycle for Amy which was very nice. We were able to show them around the hangar and they were thrilled to go on a MAF flight one day. We enjoyed carol services together and they then moved on to visit another friend on 23rd.
Christmas day was spent relaxing as a family. The children were so excited with their stockings and gifts although Joshua managed to tip his Bubbles all over his bed before we even got to his room! After church, we had a traditional English Christmas lunch complete with Christmas pudding! We were able to Skype or call most of our family back home which really helps bridge that gap of feeling so far away during the holiday season.
After Christmas we went away to Lake Nabugabo for five days, camping. It was our first camping trip and Nabugabo was the perfect spot to rest by the lake, swim and build campfires. We enjoyed wonderful sunshine which was a blessing. Back home in Kampala it rained every day. On New years eve we sat on the shore and watched as a full moon rose across the lake - It was stunning! I marvelled at the majesty of our Creator as 2009 came to a close and pondered the things that 2010 may have in store.
