Getting ready to go...

Durham's Cathedral

Yep, we are leaving on Friday 27th. It's very stange, it hasn't quite dawned on me yet. I guess partly because I had so much going on that there was no time to think about it. It will be difficult for me to keep in contact over there. Firstly we will be working in a clinic for a few weeks and living in a YWAM base near Jinga, than we will move to an island on lake Victoria (Linguera). Lastly we will travel up North to a camp for internaly displaced people (Pader). So it will become more and more rural and elementry as time goes on. I know there is so much need and many opportunities which means we'll be doing some very exciting stuff. We get back to England on the 19th of August and on the 24th I fly back to Switzerland. :)

It was really nice to spend some time with my dad this weekend and see my extended family at my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful event!

Otherwise we have been learning about pregancy and labour and about a few physio exercises.

If you would like to pray for me during this time I would appreciate it.
Pray for:

• Health and unity of our team (6 of us)


• Protection and favor


• Compassion and love to be fuelling all we do


• It has been spoken over me that I would step out in new giftings and leadership: pray for boldness to do so and step out of my comfort zone


• That God would work through us and touch people's lives, for godly appointments and relationships


• That we would come to grow closer to God during this time, I have been struggling spiritually a bit and long for more intimacy with God


• And that when I come back all might fall into place (housing, schooling, finances...)

Thank you so much...
Hope you are all well.

Handling Needles!

This weekend was so much fun. We went to parks, museums and to see a musical. Majorly fun...
AND... today we did our first injections! And you know what, it's easier then I thought. So we've been learning about vaccinations and cold chain...
On Wendesday we taught an other school very basic health care. We really enjoyed it: twas a good laugh.
This weekend I'm going to Durham to see a friend. It's quite a way, so it'll be a lot of travelling.

Two weeks left to outreach!

Worms and parasites, yum yum

We have been completely wormed out last week! Fascinating, I'm amazed at those little (or big; they can grow in your intestines up to 10m long!) creatures who know exactly what to do to survive at our expense!
Last weekend I was busy with a course work project I wanted to finish. We are leaving for Uganda on the 27th June which is pretty soon! So we've been talking about that quite a bit. All my weekends are full from now on, which is kinda crazy!

This week was on HIV/AIDS. It was great! It was so challenging, did you know there is 40 milion infected worldwide and 6000 are newly infected every day worldwide! It's growing every year. Most countries cannot afford treatment. This is a world crisis... we have to do something to prevent the continuous expansion. The worst is that the church wants to have nothing to do with it; we associate it to sin and bad life style. It's terrible the assumptions and stigma we have built around the disease. We should be the first out there, compassionaltely serving them.
God has been growing my heart for people around the world. He has been answering prayers and has been so good to me.
I have been challenged by religiousness. How easy it is to fall in that trap, of wanting to do things by our own strength for our self-glorification.
This weekend I'm going to London, which I'm so excited about. Banana. I hope it will be nice weather.
