Compassion kids!!

Wow what an incredible day.  I don't know where to begin.  We had home visits with the children sponsored by the members of our team today but along the way met SO many of the children sponsor by Catalyst.   We had a meeting with the church leaders this morning and was so impressed with how Compassion run things here and how much the leaders love serving God.  They were such an encouragement to us and we were so impressed by their love for the children and their determination to see God's will done. 
One story I must tell :)
An absolute miracle!!!  We were visiting Josh and Corinne's sponsor child and twin girls along with 10 other children ended up in the little hut with us.  The twin girls were trying to tell Murray and I that they are also sponsored by our church.  We kinda didn't believe them - so they ran to their home in the pouring rain and came back with their letters and photos of their sponsor.  here we were in the middle of no where in the pouring rain in a mud hut and guess what we were looking at... A PHOTO OF THE SAXON FAMILY...!!!  there before me was a photo of Belinda Saxon, Luke and the kids!!!  WOW!!! what a moment... VERY COOL - so SAXONS we have had a great old chat with your little girl in a mud hut in Africa!!!
Tomorrow we are meeting with more of the sponsor children and after that we are visiting the fistula hospital here in Addis.
Keep you posted

PS: love you Mum and Dad :)
