I (Beckie) have been doing home visits today, and it is really interesting. There are many complicated families here, as people change partners and have more children, some of these children are being passed from mother to father and back (or to grandparents and aunties) when having children is inconvenient. It's hard to imagine how the children get used to this, and how they cope with this type of rejection.
We also visited a genuinely happy family, maybe the second that I have seen here. This family was so thankful to God that they had managed to move into a new apartment because their old house was structurally unsound. There are many other families who are still living in dangerous accommodation who are waiting for the government to rehouse them, some have already been waiting for years. At times it's hard to know how we can make a difference, but I know that God wants to show His love to these people, so we wait for Him to show us how we can do this more and more.
