Two BIG blessings... in Switzerland



What an extraordinary blessing. The most amazing views and the opportunity to be welcomed into the home of Silvio and Dominique Viotta in beautiful Switzerland. Silvio translated "So you don't want to go to church anymore" into French. They are a wonderful family which we will tell you more of later!

On the way from Finland we changed planes in Frankfurt and in process Kevin dropped a new mobile phone that he had purchased. It's a long story. We had been looking out for a Palm smart phone that would work back in Aus. In the spare moment Kev had been looking around both is shops and on the web. But nothing was found.

While in Ireland, Kev was showing another person the way that ebay operated when he stumbled on a brand new Palm Treo 750, just what was needed for Australia. He was the only person who placed a bid and purchased it for a very low price. When we picked up the phone in the UK we found that it was a brand new unit and had a GPS (navigation aid) with it.

Some where between standing up to leave the plane and halfway along the 3 km walk to the next boarding lounge Kev discovered that the phone was missing! He hurried back but to no avail.

We contacted the lost and found people and they assured us they wold look but as the address and phone number for our hosts was in the phone we could not give a contact number and would have to ring and inquire about their success in finding the phone.

Imagine our delight when we did ring the lost and found office in Frankfurt the next day and discover that the phone had been found and that we could collect it on way back through Frankfurt en route India.

It was just another one of the wonderful things we have seen as we have traveled over these days. All praise to the Lord!
