HEALTH PRAYER REQUEST

October 12, 2009
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to those in Canada!


We would like to send out a prayer request to you please.  Chad and I and Gerry have not been feeling well last night and today - upset stomach mostly.  We think it is probably something we either ate or drank yesterday while we were in Jinga but we don't know for sure.  We are managing to keep going but energy level is down for sure.  I am developing a cough as well.  As you know, travelling with cough or fever is not recommended and may not even be permitted so please pray that whatever it is will be gone by tomorrow and that we do not develop fever (we leave Uganda on Wednesday morning and fly all day, arriving in Halifax shortly before midnight).  And of course Gerry has to keep working here so it is important for him to be healthy as well.  Imagine staying healthy for the whole visit and being ill the last few days!  The other thought is we did visit someone's home for cell group last Wednesday who neglected to mention that he had been home sick for several days before and was on antibiotics for a nasty flu.  We hope that is not the case but  people are not as conscious about passing things on here yet.  So with that no-so-good news, otherwise we are doing fine and we enjoyed a wonderful weekend with lots of new things to tell you about but that will have to wait for the minute.  Tomorrow will be a difficult day as we will be saying goodbye to so many new friends so please remember that for us as well.

I am not sure but perhaps the next blog post will be from home... we'll see what we can manage.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers towards us.  We thank God upon every remembrance of you...

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I pray God will give you the grace and strength you need in order to make the journey home. It will be great to see you both again.
Take care
