When God came to call.




We have just had a really inspiring four days putting up three children from the Watoto children's choir from Uganda. All the children from the choir have been orphaned by Aids or civil war, and it has been humbling to see how gracious and full of faith these beautiful children are.


They have been a delight to have in the house, and so very grateful to us for looking after them. They are considerate and well behaved, and boy what a delight it has been to see their love for God and their music.


We had an amazing experience yesterday, we took the children ( aged 7, 8 and 12) to Asda. It was their first trip ever to a supermarket ( and we chose one of the biggest in Europe!!). Martha had Lent them all a huge pair of sunglasses which they wore with great excitement . They then took GREAT delight in pushing the trolley, buying the food for the evening, and loading the conveyor belt. They had a kids meal for lunch, after one of them had said a ( very long) grace in Asda cafe.


Having the children and their "Auntie" here has been a privilege.
