Day 3

Today was another wonderful day. We went back to the orphanage to finish up painting.  I was painting outside all afternoon so I got to see many neighborhood people. They were all very friendly and anytime you looked at them their faces light up with a smile from ear to ear. It was very hard to leave the girls at the orphanage. I know I will come in contact with other cute kids throughout the week which is what I had to keep telling myself. We didn’t have a church service tonight because of it being New Years Day which is a major holiday here. Instead a group of us took a walk around the community in which we are staying. It was so nice to look around at all the natural beauty that God created in such a poverty struck country. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for me and the rest of the team the rest of the week.

ADAM – DAY 2

It started out regularly. I got up and got ready but we were supposed to have breakfast at 7:00 am but I woke up at 7:28 am. Wes Pepper woke me up and we went downstairs to eat. After breakfast we had a devotional. Then we went for our last day to paint. I painted a whole lot and then I went and played with the girls. Wes and I gave the girls candy and I helped one of the girls ride a bike. Then we came home and got lunch then again we went back and painted. After that we had to leave. It was hard but we did. We came home and Wes and I played with a ball and I got it stuck on the roof so we had to tell everybody. And that was my day!

God is GREAT

Second day working and I’m almost out if shirts, someone forgot work shirts and they are taking all of mine! 🙂 Nooooo!

No, actually I have plenty 🙂 just giving a fellow team member some grief. This trip has started with first a devotion about setting aside self and reflecting Jesus Christ. That started with us doing hands on work at a pastors house. Pastor and his wife raises 7 orphans, little girls, and it’s a great blessing to all of us to be able to help them out.
