Catch up from the Cold

Just a quick update to let you all know that last friday early morning we said our last sad goodbyes to our many great friends in Uganda to head south for the next part of the trip. We were both so sad to go and can't believe we spent 9 weeks at Dweeling Places, Uganda. All I can say to explain how we felt about leaving is that we are both already discussing when we can make it back!
But we can't complain as we spent a brilliant weekend with some friends Laura me through the world without walls project in Pretoria. We had the oppertunity to spend some great quality time with them, see a bit of south sfrica, get over the culture shock, eat a brii (a south african bbq) and catch up on some much needed sleep. It was perfect!
We caught a flight to Capetown early Tuesday morning to be greeted by our lovely kind host Joanne and we were quickly and warmly accepted into her family's beautiful home! We are still adjusting to the drop in temperature (it can go to -2 degrees C at night and the houses have no heating as they dont normally need it - we came at a bad time weather wise) and the feeling of being clean and not covered in dust, but we are loving the big comfy beds and how much joanne is spoiling us! We will be meeting up with some contacts from Hillsong church Capetown shortly and will be palnning the work for the weeks ahead. But as for now, I am going to put the kettle on and maybe even hunt out some gloves!!!
Sending all our prayers, thoughts and best wishes to everyone we have left behind and are missing!

Dearest Daughters of the King, Princesses of the Most High, Our Dearest Sweet Laura and Jenn,

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

How sweet to follow the path left by the feet of those that follow Jesus! It is a priviledge and blessing to us to be able to share in your journey.

We looked at some photos recently of our visit when we first met you. The memories were such a reminder of how you radiate love from our Savior. The hospatality that you showered on us, the unbelievable meal you prepared for us, the extravegance of your love, was such an undeserved blessing.

We love you so and continue to remember you in our prayers.

We so look forward to the day when we can "hug you till you wiggle"!

Nothing but Jesus
