Actually she has been home for 2 weeks now!!
Her trip to Uganda was awesome….she is still in the afterglow of it all.
Also, she has been blessed to get into a Christian school, as her present one is closing…
I really feel God has HIS hand on her life and am so blessed to be her Mother.
here are aome pics from her trip:

Here are some details of our current Fund Raiser!!
My daughter has been making cakes for some time now and sellig them after church on Sundays.
We were asked how you make a certain cake one time and so we decided to put togther a booklet with all 10 recipes in.
What followed was a frustrating time of planning, trying again and again til it worked but we now have the finished book ready for sale ….
This has been so much fun and such a good seller!! Thank you to all who have bought one, they made a huge difference to her funds …she is planning to take lots of games and creative things to the children over there as they have nothing! or at least hardly anything…
Each page has been laminated and connected with tags and decorated with ribbon!!

I have been going to write this post on my blog for so long now, I really had to make the effort today!!
Maybe I have mentioned it before? but if not , my youngest daughter got the opportunity of a lifetime by being able to be part of a team going from her Christian School to Uganda in March 2008!!
To say we were excited for her is an understatement, not only has she ALWAYS wanted to be a Missionary since we homeschooled her but someone on a Mums message board read about her and promptly asked me for our details and then sent her a donation towards her deposit!! thus confirming for us God wanted her to go….
This past few months has been one journey and ever so exciting, seeing God lay on the hearts of others a desire to help and support her. We have been sent donations from so many people, and especially some pensioners in Wigan (you know you who are!) regularly sending her gifts…God is faithful
Our main source though has been regualry baking home made cakes and selling them on a Sunday following our church service.
We make everything, from Carrot cake to Chocolate cakes…all sorts each week…and we have a bunch of faithful sisters and brothers who rush up to buy!!
we have just paid her flight …*gulp* £479…and are in the process of getting her injections…poor girl is like a pin cushion!
The school has regular team building meets and she enjoys this a lot. They meet at the Head’s house who is so passionate about this trip and he is planning and excellently too I may add the itinerary.
All together there are 7 students and 4 adults. They will be working within the school that the school and church built and support. Ralph and Val have been over there for some time now and it is awesome what God is doing. We heard how some of the children will

travel, mostly walking , 2 - 3 hours a day so that they can have school.
The team will take ideas for games, strengthening an ever growing team already there. They also will interact with the children as much as they can, having fun and teaching them about Jesus!

Please join with us in praying for this trip, and that the Lord will touch the lives of all going in a way that will challenge and encourage them.
Thank you.
