It's been said before and no doubt will be said again that life in Zim is not an easy one. Not just for us but for every one who lives here. This last few weeks has been had as we often feel restricted what we can do to help people and it does get you down. But God is so good and all it takes is an afternoon like today, hanging with the kids and seeing them so happy to make all thats frustrating fade into the background. It's then we can see that we are in fact helping by just being here.

You guys are fantastic. Keep on going - I just know that you're both making a huge difference, for the better, in the lives of so many over there xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh hon,
ReplyDeleteI know we've spoken about this a bit in our phonecalls; but again you know I'm here whenever you need to chat.
And it's okay to be honest about your feelings. Much better than having all that stuck in your head screaming for an escape! I know you've got your journal; but always feel free to send me a text if you need to talk about something then and there.
Always here. You know that... ;)
It's really good to hear the joy of being with the kids and knowing that you know just being with them is enough some days. That's what will remain with them - the fact that you came, and you spent time with them and you brought joy with you.
And hey - ceremonial trash burning is always a good idea too, right?
Love you, S. xoxo
