Sunday at the Park.

Yesterday we had an opportunity to spend the afternoon with a refugee family that Justin works with at World Relief. We had an amazing time with them. This family recently came to the U.S from Afghanistan and is a beautiful family of nine, yes that means seven children! We started that day off at Trinity Park riding the mini train that runs throughout the park. The kids enjoyed it alot. We stopped halfway during the train ride and got the kids some popcorn to snack on. After the train ride we took them to a field in the park and we played frisbee and soccer. We ended up playing a soccer game under a bridge in the dirt. For a few minutes I really felt like I was overseas. The boys are pretty good at soccer and the oldest plays soccer every moment he can. In this family of seven, there is only one girl. She is so sweet. She got the opportunity to ride a horse while we were at the park and it made her whole day. Afterwards, we went back to their apartment and they made us a snack and we had tea with them. I have fallen in love with this family and I look forward to the next time I will see them. My friend April and I have decided to "adopt" this family through World Relief. We will spend time with them, get clothes, toys and households goods for them, and minister to them as they transition to life in the United States. This is such a blessing to my life to be able to do something like this. Please pray for us as we minister to this family!
