At last!

August 12, 2007

So, do you remember the Nigerian refugee family I told you about?  Living in the horrible, horrible 1 room in a condemned police station with a new born baby and 1 kitchen a 1 bathroom to share with 5 families?  Well, they have been granted a temporary flat until Christmas!!  It’s a lovely big flat on the 9th floor with amazing views of the city.  They have 3 bedrooms and a lounge!  Praise God!

Today and yesterday I have been loading up Fifi and trying to get their stuff moved across the city.  You know all the photos of kids in Africa who gather round and jump on you and stuff…well it was going on in Orleans, it was surreal!  Each time I drove the car in about 15-20 kids ran after me waving and banging and then they all wanted to see the car, climb inside, jump on me.  They had no idea who I was!  It was all quite surreal and I realised that I was very grateful to be called to France becuase Africa just seems a bit too stressful for me!!  emoticon

Anyway, please pray for Ester, Emanuelle, Samuel and Daniel as they settle into their new place.  Samuel is 3 and is VERY clingy.  Out of neccesity he has slept in the same bed as his parents all his life, so I think it will be hard for him to finally have his own room.
