Three Months After our Return...

Ed and Kate at Billy and Simon's weddingExactly 3 months ago, Kate and I woke up at the Airport Guesthouse in Entebbe and flew back to the UK at the end of our work in Uganda. In some ways, it doesn’t feel like that long. In others, it feels a lifetime ago.

Since our return we’ve been to two weddings, bought two cars, found somewhere to live, and visited friends and family in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Shropshire, Merseyside, Sussex, Derbyshire and the Isle of Man.

I’ve been kindly invited to return to Riverford Organic Vegetables where I’m working as a project manager. Sadly, Kate has not been able to start her job at Barnstaple hospital because she’s suffering from post-viral fatigue, precipitated by a virus she caught in Uganda at Easter. This is hugely frustrating for us both, and obviously makes us wonder what the future holds. However, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine have ruled out any lingering tropical diseases which is a good thing.

A spiritual reflection on our year

Last weekend we presented a short talk at our church in Tavistock, TMC about our work at Kisiizi Hospital, which was great. It was a short description of some of the work we’ve been doing, and an exploration (in video form) of the bible verses we’ve found helpful during our time in Uganda.

We thought you might like to see it.
