Hello again. I want to tell you something very cool. Colton was at the CRIB house and Isaac and I had gone to get some household things at the Chinese shop. From what we gather from our friends here, if it's available, it's most likely to be found here. The quality of most of the items is equivalent to what you would get at a dollar store. So we were picking out these mugs, 6 to a pack. The package was very dusty and greasy, with even the mugs inside the package being dirty. The store by Canadian standards is not a place you would go shopping.
Normally the cook would wash our dishes, (we've been told that if we do them, that means that he doesn't do a good enough job.) but he wasn't around when Isaac and I got home. As I'm washing the mugs, all of a sudden I get a flashback of a dream that I had years ago. And guess what!? It's the Chinese store!!! I knew instantly that's what it was. It was very vivid. My guess is that I had that dream about 5 yrs. ago, and never would have remembered it had it not been from the Lord. It's confirmation that God has us right where He wants us! That's the best place in all the world to be. Man that's exciting to us!!
Continuation of our first days here before we had internet:
Day 3: We met Deo, Rosa's husband today. Deo & Rosa and Everiste & Anick each, with their families, live in a house that is located on the CRIB compound. Rosa is just over 8 months pregnant. She's super nice.
On Friday morning Maryanne picked us up and we went to Club du lac, which is a resort. It's right on the beach and it's beautiful. Colton, Boss David, who is Pastor Ray and Maryanne Bale's 5 yr. old son and Doo-Doo, who is an 18 yr.old boy that the Bale's have taken under their wings spent hours swimming in the beautiful pool while Maryanne, Isaac and myself sat under a tiki hut having Burundian coffee. Pastor Ray was still in the Congo, officially opening an other
Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favour:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Burundi? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Burundi in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and a original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com, where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
