Here we go!!!

The time for us to leave Uxbridge approaches!!
We had the opportunity to tell our church about our trip on Sunday the 21st. And we were given a good send off yesterday, Sunday 28th. They have a DR Congo flag on display to remind them to pray for us!!
Our cases are packed with the exception of the few items we will need in the morning. We have checked in on line and chosen our seats!! Isn’t technology wonderful when it works? Neighbours have been told, our son Peter, who lives with us, has been briefed and our son, Tim, who lives locally, will be picking us up at about 8.00am tomorrow to take us to Heathrow for our 10.45am flight to Entebbe, Uganda. We arrive there at 8.10 pm local time and will be spending the night in the airport lounge to save the expense of visas/taxi/hotel. We meet up with MAF at 11.00am Wednesday for the flight into Bunia, DRC which I understand arrives there at about 2.00pm.
The last few weeks have been quite stressful. Janice’s car died on her in our one way system. A guardian angel in the form of a biker got her car off the road and out of danger and then the RAC towed her home. She has managed to order a new car, taking advantage of the scrappage scheme, which she will pick up on our return. She needed a new camera and thought that there was not enough time to do the research and get one. But Tim had already done some research and we were able to go out and buy one with time for her to test it at my older brother’s Diamond Wedding celebration on the 27th.
I look forward to reporting from Bunia next time but that will depend on the power supply and the internet connection!!
God Bless and thank you for your interest and prayers.
