Guyana

Just a quick update to say that I am back in Guyana again, and it is so completely wonderful! I feel like I never left; everyone is just so welcoming. We spent our day yesterday seeing all of the beautiful children at Joshua House and at the Red Cross orphange; we had Easter egg hunts at each place. We then went on the streets to feed the homeless around town and give out the flip-flops that CCHS collected. They were so thankful!

Today we went back to Joshua House to do some construction projects and hang out with the kids. It was so wonderful to see all of my old friends and to meet some new ones. We are just getting back to the hotel now, and we will have some lovely "pizza" for dinner tonight!

** A Little Sidenote***
When we arrived at the Guyana airport, the corrupt customs officers took all of the medical supplies we were bringing to help all of the kids. We have contacted many people within Guyana to try and help get them back. Please pray that God's will can be done in this situation. Also, pray for those officers who felt the need to take them; pray that they will realize we need those supplies to help their people. God has an incredible plan, and I can't wait to see it revealed, whenever that may be.

Thank you everyone for all of your continued prayers and support! Much love, Lauren
