I recently returned home from a mission trip, with two fellow members of Metro Central Community Church, Brisbane. We spent one week in Vietnam and the second week in Thailand. Whilst in Thailand, we had the pleasure of visiting Samuel's House. Spending time with the children was definitely one of my highlights of the trip! The children were warm and affectionate, and I enjoyed getting to know all the individual personalities.

Heeseon and I wanted to know what we could do for the kids so we decided to visit them. After the long journey from Bangkok to Phayakkhaphum Phisai (where they live), we finally got to meet the kids and Hannah at the bus terminal. Initially, we were all a little shy. However, bonds were formed quickly as soon as we started getting to know each other. We only spent 2 days together but we felt like part of the family.

When we left, the kids made beautiful cards with love and gave them to us. It touched my heart. I still remember them singing and praying before we had dinner together. I found much joy and happiness through them. I am sponsoring one of the children now. I miss them so much and hope to see them again soon.
