Friday - meeting our sponsored child

This was a day I had been praying for, for a long time. Two World Vision women picked us up at our hotel at 8:00 for our long journey into a remote, mountainous village where Sandsizwa lives. We have sponsored him for about 4 years. Tate and Austin each have one sponsored child that they communicate with, Austin writes him letters at least once a month and over the years, we pray for Sandsizwa and I have longed for the day we could see him face to face.

Before we started the trek to his village we stopped at a grocery store and filled our cart full of food for the family. The boys were able to pick out a few toys to take to the kids too.

It took us about 1.5 hours to drive to the village. We met the area development director and also saw the well that World Vision had provided for this community.

I will write more later, we are heading to an abandoned baby home this morning and then in the car for another 5-6 hours for Durban.
