More pics from Sweet Water…

I wanted to share these sweet little ones first because many of you back home have already prayed for them. Zuzu is 3 and Seth is 7 months old. About a month ago God brought these two little ones across the path of Tabitha ministries. Their mother has AIDS and suffers from mental distress. She buried Zuzu in the ditch up to his neck in the front yard and laid Seth beside him on a blanket. A neighbor eventually heard them crying and found them and someone got them to the hospital. When Gail received a call from the hospital Seth was in critical condition and not expected to make it. On a Tuesday approximately two weeks ago he had a serious lung surgery and was placed on a ventilator with little likelihood of surviving…3 days later he was brought home to Tabitha. He is thriving and getting stronger daily. It is amazing to see the improvements he has made just since we have been here. There is no denying that our God is still very much a God of miracles.

Meet Emmi.  She is pure sunshine. When you walk in the room her little eyes light up and she immediately begins to chatter loudly and gets so excited. Emmi is 7 months old. Emmi was found abandoned at a bus station. Someone eventually took her to the hospital and that is where she was when Gail found her. Gail was actually at the hospital to check on Seth. She was told that no one would claim this child and asked if she would consider taking her in. She said that she took one look into those eyes and couldn’t walk away from her…and you can certainly understand why.

Hello Hot Heads!

Just wanted to thank you all and share some sweet smiles because of your labors of love….the children were so excited to get their very own hats and kept asking “For me? I get to keep?” So, thank you, thank you, thank you….these children are so very precious and you all brought sweetness to them today.

Much love to you,

Brandy

PS…there is one pic of a couple of them looking into the mirror at themselves…they don’t get to look at themselves often and it was so funny to see them so proud and checking themselves out.
