We were incredibly hot and sweaty when we finished out the morning, I think Hubby and N could have wrung about a quart of sweat out of their shirts, E and I were close behind! Tomorrow they are going to bring a fresh shirt to wear in the afternoon. Hopefully it will stay dry for at least half an hour after they put it on. Can you say "humidity"??
This afternoon we spent two and half hours at the orphanage. There were more of us then there were children. A great situation! A has fallen in love with a little boy named Nathaniel - funny huh? Really, he has fallen in love with her. He would not let her put him down or let him go to another person. He wanted her back! N made a great friend as well. I have to be honest it was hard to hear his name and even harder to spell it! They were inseparable. What an amazing sight!
Tomorrow we head back to the school for more VBS, soccer and ring-around-the-rosies. In the afternoon we head to Westhaven, which is a place for those children that have mental and physical disabilities. Dr. Mark (Muirhead) has a good thought about Westhaven and it's this: "Some of us look on the inside the way these people look on the outside". It's painful to even consider those words, and yet so very true.
I am going to close with a few pictures from today. Please continue to keep us in your prayers, that we will be His hands extended.
Hugs!

It sounds like you had a rewarding day with the children. I am glad each of you are getting to make new friends. We continue to pray for your time there and for your health.
Your daddy came through his surgery with no problems.
Love to you all.
Kimmie,
Our prayers are with you all. My operation today went fine. I'm a little loopy right now with my meds but I have the weekend to recover. You guys are an incredible blessing to those kids. You are all loved.
Dad
