Dear family and friends,
Just over 2 weeks ago Bryan was asked to be Country Program Director (CPD). Bryan has now been CPD for 10 days. Congratulations to Bryan! It was in the end a quick but big decision, as surely the position will demand even more of his time. We take it in faith that it is what God wants us to do, surely He is the one to open and close doors as He knows is best. He sees and knows infinitely more than we possibly can! I pray we will be able to serve the organisation well, that the staff will work well with us and that we will love them in our work practices. Glory to God.

Bill has his post-amputation check-up this Friday. Pray with me that all the gangrene was cut off so that he doesn’t need a second amputation. Bill has been staying in a district outside Kampala; I have not been to see Bill yet but have been in contact. On Friday we will know if he can return to Jinja. Either way, I will make sure to visit him the following week. I’ve been getting my friend Natalie – ‘Nurse Natalie’ to the CARE4Kids children – to help me with tips for Bill. Bill has not yet been seen by a physiotherapist. At least between Nattie and my internet research we’ve been able to give some advice. If any of you knows about recovering from a transtibial (below the knee) amputation, I’d love the extra tips.
Bryan and I shared Easter at the Rozmus residence. We shared a delicious lunch and hid eggs for the children. As I was reading the crucifixion story over the Easter weekend, it struck me that Jesus was/is really brave. He faced a mob of people who came to arrest him (a mob! at night!), went with them and got interrogated by religious and political leaders, AND got wipped to shreds and crucified. Now that is a strong man. After all that, what does He say to God about them all? "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) That is incredible. HE is incredible.
I hope you all had a marvellous Easter celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ!
Love Emily
