Having been at Kiwoko hospital for just over 3 days there is
very little for us to say at the moment.
We arrived safely after an uneventful trip. Irene’s prayer
that we might have a “spiritually challenging” journey was met by God’s gracious
response in giving her the best sleep she has ever had on an overnight flight!
It is good that He knows us much better than we know ourselves.
On arrival in Entebbe we were met by our friend Corrie, but
not by the taxi driver who had been arranged to pick up our large amount of
luggage. However we managed to cram all the bags and people into Corries car
and get to a local shopping centre where fortunately a hospital car met us and
took some of our cases so we then had some room for essential shopping. It
later transpired that an unfamiliar rattling Corrie had noticed in her car
turned out to be due to the fact that three bolts had fallen out of her engine
mounting and it was hanging on by just one!
Our accommodation in the hospital grounds is pleasant with a
spare bedroom for any who would like to visit. Thoughtfully the staff have
arranged for us to have meals out for the first week which is making settling
in a lot easier. We are almost unpacked and mentally making lists of things we
need to buy in the near future.
Prayer pointers
·
Thank God for a safe arrival and the kindness of
the staff in providing meals and an invitingly clean home
·
Pray that we will quickly become used to the
heat and humidity which is proving very tiring at the moment
·
That we will be able to settle into working
alongside different systems in a different culture and not offend others by our
keenness to “get on with it” instead of greeting people properly first!
·
That we will be able to build meaningful
relationships with others
