These girls are some of my favorite! They were soooooo appreciative for their gifts. They kept saying, "Please tell the people in the United States thank you for our toys, we love them!!" I love my job!!
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.

44 people in our home!
We had our Christmas party tonight. It was so wonderful! I have never seen so many laughs and smiles and happiness! We had one family of 6 come for the first time, and we had another man come for the first time as well. We played games and sang songs, we listened to a short story from the Bible and Alex acted it out.
Then we got to do the fun part..... give out presents. It really was something awesome to see! If you have ever made up shoeboxes at Christmas time and wondered what it is like when the children open their presents, I am here to tell you, it is AWESOME!! I have never seen so many children smile and laugh and genuinely be thankful for what they have been given! If I died today, I would count myself as being one of the luckiest people on earth. I have seen a little piece of heaven today! Thank you Katie, Adele, Paula and Ed for making it possible for these children to receive these presents! It really was wonderful! This picture above is about half of the kids who received gifts. God bless you all!
