Hello everyone!!
Today has been a day filled with much excitement, fun, and hard work. We left early to head to Hope Home, an orphanage about an hour from where we are staying, and were greeted by all of the little ones we love so dearly!!
Tasks were quickly assigned and to work we went! Katy painted a mural with Gina helping entertain the children who wanted to help. Derrick, Mr. Butler, Michael, Miles, and Andy all worked on painting a gazebo. Mrs. Butler, Pat, and I spent the afternoon helping groups of children make sock puppets for the skit they will be performing tomorrow. Clement is doing desperately needed plumbing work at the orphanage. Everyone found something they love to do and did it well!!
The children at Hope are, once again, so inspiring. Their laughter is contagious and their gentle spirit is something to wish for. Personally, they have shown me all that life has to offer because even in a less-than-ideal situation, they know how to love deeply and truly embrace life in a way that I have not even grasped yet. It's amazing who God can use to work wonders in one's life.
We will be heading out shortly for dinner at the Roti Hut (SO GOOD!!) and then attending a Wednesday night service at a church of an old friend. Thanks for continuing to keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
