Recently we’ve had a few really good weeks and May has been a positive month for us. The boys have been brilliant, the farm is moving on, Jen’s group with literacy catch up is full of energy, we have managed to find the fourth and final Residential Care Worker and to top it all of Derby County got promoted to the Premiership. In the back of our mind we are wondering what is lying round the corner but maybe nothing is so we are going to enjoy the calm and progress and not think about what could be about to go wrong.

At the beginning of the month we went with the boys on an outing. We visited the airport in Entebbe, it doesn’t really take that long to look around, we went to the Zoo which was a lot better than I thought it was going to be and we finished the day off by going for a swim in potentially the skankiest swimming pool I have ever seen. If you put a paddling pool in your garden and left it out all winter you’d get what I mean. We are all fine and healthy so it can’t have been too bad, I just didn’t allow my feet to touch the bottom.

The new musical that Jen is performing in is about to have it’s first viewing any where in the world. It has been written by a guy who’s music is regularly on Broadway and has won a Tony Award, so it should be good.

I continue to run the Youth at our church. This last week two kids in the group lost their mother in a road accident. Obviously it has torn the family to pieces and it has shook all those connected with them as it brings home the reality of how dangerous the roads are in Uganda. (Highest accidents to the number of cars in the world).

With that aside everything is going really well. We interviewed a great bunch of men for the position of Residential Care Worker and we think we have found a gem! He is called Milton and he starts in the middle of June. It will be really exciting to have the fourth cottage finally open and Tudabujja at full capacity.

In June we have the start of a busy Summer schedule, lots and lots of visitors which will be really exciting (especially if they bring chocolate!) We also plan to go to Nairobi for a few days to look at our projects there and also to get a bit of a break. We are doing the journey by bus so that will be fun. I think we will try to get seats where we can’t see what is going on the road in front of us. Then before we know it, it will be July and we are back in the UK for two weeks.

So until next time it would be great if as you read this you could pray for the following situations:

For the family who lost their mother.

For Milton as he starts the challenging work on the Tigers Team.

For safety in travel.

And for the on going work of God through the staff in the boys lives.
