We arrived safely last night. Our flights were good. We made it to bed at 1:30am, exhausted! When the alarm went off this morning it was so hard to get up!
We are back at the guest house and will soon head to dinner. The weather here is beautiful! Warm, but not too hot, humidity...not bad, and a wonderful breeze blowing!
Today was our first day at the Gem Foundation, a special need orphanage so named because all children are gems to God. We held, fed and played with the children. We then had the opportunity to participate in their staff meeting. There are 34 staff members. The meeting consisted of a devotion and worship time. Wow! What an amazing experience!! A few ladies sang and then led us in singing, clapping, dancing and prayer time. I've never experienced anything like that and it is not something I will forget!
I didn't do well taking pictures of our team and time with gems, well because my hands were busy. I'll do better on that part. But I have included a picture of the church behind our guest house, this is the view from my balcony. When we got back this evening a group was playing drums and singing in the church yard, so fun to listen to while sitting here posting on the blog. There is also a picture of downtown on our way back to the guest house today.
Tomorrow we will be up early and head off to an area a couple hours away to start a pastors conference and VBS. Looking forward to seeing how God is going to work! Pray for us as we reach these sweet children for Christ! And our team leader preaches to the pastors.
