We had our final parents meeting last night, which went really well.

Final bits of packing, I had some injections today!, and A level results! (Well done Rosie!)

We have been busy!

With only 4 days to go we have been very busy the past week!
Several of the team helped with the Churches holiday club last week, this involved lots of gunge, shaving foam, singing and teaching kids about God- it was so much fun!
Also during the week we had the talk of making and icing 400 cupcakes for a wedding, this wasn't quite as messy but almost as fun!
On Saturday 3 of us helped waiter at one of the teams sisters wedding.
We are all so excited for our trip and are busy packing and planning this week!

Please Pray!

Please pray for us while we are in Uganda.

Points we would specifically love prayer for are:

-The Oasis staff, they have worked so hard preparing for our visit and will be looking after us while we are there. Please pray that we can bless them and serve them in the best possible way.

-The Children/young people that we will be meeting while in Uganda. We will be teaching some of them Bible stories, please pray for the continued growth of the seed we will be planting. Please also pray for positive relationships to form with the children while we visit.

-Our team, please pray that we can serve the Ugandans to the best of our abilities, that we can have energy, enthusiasm and a smile on our faces all the time and we can positively effect the Ugandans lives (as well as ours!).

-Please pray for each member of the teams spiritual growth during the trip.



I will soon post our day-by-day programme, so if you wish you can pray for each activity/project specifically. 


Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support. 
We are ALL SO EXCITED!
