I had the privilege of representing my family in meeting Meron, a beautiful 10 year old girl, and her family. The visit followed much of the same form as the visits to the other sponsored children, with introductions and short speeches by both me and the family. Meron was pretty reserved, but could not hide her smile as she jump roped, looked through a kaleidoscope, and played catch. She brought out her report card to show me that she is doing well in school and even gave me three pictures from her photo album. These very well could have been the only copies she had. I was also given a large bag of peanuts.
My parents are actually the sponsors of Meron, but it was a blessing to meet her and to pass on my family's prayers and concern. I hope to be more involved in relationship with her in the future
Lord, please continue to bless and protect Meron and her family. May she grow to know and love you!! Elizabeth
Hey Elizabeth, It was great to see you and that you were able to visit with Meron! We were so excited to see that it all worked out. We are checking the blog every day (often more than once a day) for any news or pictures. It is so exciting to see how God is using you and your team in Uganda.
ReplyDeleteWhat a JOY to see you all at church today via sattelite. I selfishly snook away during SS the 2nd hour so I could see you again even though it was a still photo :)
God Bless and we are praying that God will keep you all safe and healthy. M&D
