A guest post from Isaac, stolen from his unusually long Facebook status:

I have not posted too much since returning to Uganda almost a month ago so here is a quick bulleted summary on some events that have transpired to keep everyone who cares up to date.

- Since missing our flight in London and having some immigration issues, we are completely settled into a routine in Kampala and I am officially under a dependency visa as a stay-at-home-almost-retired-but-actually-unemployed-husband.

- Three appliances, a coffee maker and rice cooker brought from Canada and a Ugandan kettle fried within 5 days of arrival.

- Our cat Muwala is alive and well and is appearing to gain a lot of weight since our return. Our dog Wally continues to be kind of dumb but still very loving and needy for belly rubs.

- Erica and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary.

- Erica is back teaching middle school English and Social Studies and volunteers at the end of the week to teach English to Congolese Refugees.

- My own involvement with a local organization serving to help Congolese Refugees. Details are currently in the works.

- Experienced a hail storm like no other (the worst I have ever been in) despite literally living on the equator.

- I have taken the duties of head coach of the U16 Boys soccer team at
Heritage and assisting with the Open Boys team.

- I severely sprained my right ankle playing Soccer over two weeks ago and continue to feel the pain but refuse to sit on the sidelines during any sporting activity.

- Went undefeated in the monthly Vanderford Invitational Table Tennis Tournament.

- Unfortunately, I am currently in the process of voluntary release from the Canadian Military due to living in Uganda and the uncertainty of where and when we will end up again in Canada.

- My moustache has appeared to connect with my Goatee. Very exciting.

- Overall, Erica and I are finding our schedules becoming very full and keeping us busy throughout the week with the school activities, social events, friends, and good neighbours all around.

Tiffany and Agnes making a snowman (ice man?) after the crazy hailstorm. While the snowman was fun, unfortunately the storm did a lot of damage to the homes of many Ugandans living in poverty.
