An update on our Eritrean friends
Ruth and I went to Kitchener bringing lots of pizza hoping that our Eritrean friends would then not see the need to create their own meal for us. While the boys, and the mother, certainly enjoyed the pizza, they had still cooked an Eritrean meal for us to enjoy. Ruth learned how to use injera bread to eat the meal while Mary still relied on cutlery. Either way, the meal was good!
We were also treated to their traditional coffee, and were able to watch it being made.
All is going well. The boys are doing well in school; they are becoming quite proficient in English. Keba, the little baby girl, is healthy and is much-loved by all. Her uncle, Mulue, proudly showed her off when we arrived. Her oldest brother held her and doted on her.
Indeed, the visit reminded me of Psalm 133, where the psalmist declares that it is good and pleasant when God’s people live together in unity. It is a beautiful blessing when we can come together in Christian love instead of being separated by culture or race!
Work on the many documents for our second family is progressing slowly. It is my hope that the application can be submitted in a few months. 75% ($45,554.70) of the needed funds will need to be in the account when this happens. If you would like to support this family financially, please consider making a donation. As always, please keep this family and the countless other refugees in your prayers.
