I have to admit I completely forgot about my blog this week. The days have kind of blurred together and I've lost track. However if I get this written and posted within twenty minutes I will still have made my Wednesday deadline.
So I've been having fun, went to a cute little gold mining town called Weaverville the other day which was fun, checked out Burney Falls which was beautiful (and we saw snow on the way which the kids were excited about), ate a hamburger so big that we shared it between two adults and two children (which came out held together by a hunting knife), hung out with someone who I haven't seen since 2002 and got news of an answer to prayer.
Last week I said we at Australia HOPE International were waiting on the Australian High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya to issue visas for our Congolese friends to come to Australia. Two days ago I received news that they have finally given them the visas so they will be in Australia in less than two weeks (that seems awfully close, hopefully I've done my maths right).
I was so happy when I heard. I can't imagine how the children who are coming would feel. These kids who have seen too much trauma already in their short lives will have a completely foreign experience, an amazing adventure.
I can only imagine their feelings going through the airports, flying in the plane, watching movies on the screens, eating food that is brought to you. Incomprehensible.
If you would like to know more about the trip they are doing please contact Australia HOPE International.
Blessings for the week
