This is my last blog post for this mission trip. It has been a busy and fulfilling time being back in this lovely part of central Africa. It is the long, hot dry season just now and everything is very dusty and in need of water. We saw some sensational sunrises from our balcony - every morning at 06.15 - well worth being up and about at that time.
The highlight of the final weekend was a very special wedding at the Mango Tree Church. Jocelyn, one of the deaf girls who works in the sewing workshop got married to Samson. He is hearing and is also the father of Naomi, Jocelyn's two year old daughter. So this is a very satisfactory ending to a long journey for her - or maybe I should say a "new beginning" for all three of them.
Another very special thing that happened was a visit from Bright, my Ugandan "son", his wife Doreen and their twin daughters, Sheelah Hazel and Sheebah Hazel, aged 2 1/2. They came from Mbarara on the bus and stayed at the ministry centre with us for a couple of days. This was the first time I had met my little grand daughters who call me 'Grannyma Hazel'. They are very bright and adorable children.

Another trip safely completed. I got back last week and am now settling back to life in Scotland.
May God bless all who read this blog!
