Arrived at Eden

Well yesterday was one of the most impactful days of our adventure yet. We travel about two hours to a place called Eden. It is North East of Harare, and I might add it is out in the middle of nowhere, or at least that is the way that is seams to me. But once we got here it was well worth the travel down the narrow roads full of small cars that were pack will people.

On arrival one of the first things that we see are fields that surround the facility that they use to farm most of their crops such as white corn and other grains. When we get into Eden we are greeted by many friendly faces that are very welcoming and a very big dog name Ozzy who doesn't seem to feel the same way.  After a breakfast of papayas and some oatmeal like cereal that is made from there corn meal, it is off to the preschool, clinic, dairy and classrooms for the other children. I cant even begin to describe the impact that this place has on children and the way that the Lord has help this group of people put together a small piece of Gods Kingdom that is improving these peoples lives. It seems that this is the way life should be and the way life should work. It goes to show how God can bring such beauty out of a situation that is so bad, the rest of the world should take note as to see how life should be. People taking care of people.

Ben and Kaila met there child that they sponsored. When they gave the gifts that they had gotten for her it was so cool to see the reaction that it gave her. Truthfully brought tears to my eyes how much joy that she got from a umbrella. "the Lord provides always on time" she says as she opens up the umbrella and puts it above her head (knowing that the rainy season is approaching in a few days).

I hope that we can get some pictures uploaded with more detail on them about all the different branches of this place, so much goes into the dairy, farming, clinic, education, the building of the villages and so on. One is more important than the next.

We are having a great trip so far and sure it is only going to get better, thanks for following the blog and God Bless until next time around!!
