A slight hiccup in plans has occurred. Kathleen Burns (see below) has a bad throat infection and can't have the yellow fever jab she was due to have today. This has been re-scheduled, but it means she won't be able to return to Uganda until after the conference. That means she won't be around to organise transport for me from the airport on my arrival and to the conference.

Please pray for Kathleen. She's still getting over her recent surgery, so pray for a speedy and full recovery and that she won't try to overdo things in the meanwhile. She's still hoping to be well enough for our trip to the Ssese Islands.

The rest of the itinerary is coming together. So far it looks like this:

                   time). Change planes and depart 07.55.
