Hello everyone,

We lost internet access yesterday but today we are back in business. We had two very productive days Wednesday and Thursday. I'll share as much information with all of you that I can. 

On Wednesday we visited the Director and two teachers. After we shared our plans with them they asked if we could come the next day. This would allow them time to plan for the big event. After the school we went to visit the land for the our orphanage and then the clinic in town. Unfortunately we could not tour the facility because they were getting ready to perform surgery on someone just as we arrived. We were told by an individual visiting the clinic himself that we could visit an orphanage nearby if we wanted to. We visited the orphanage and were so moved by the situation there that we decided to bring them food for a special meal on Friday. I'll share more about the orphanage later. After the orphanage we visited the hospital across town instead of the clinic. After the hospital visit we went home for a quick bite to eat and then went to the market to get the supplies for the food distribution. It was a very rewarding experience.    

On Thursday we went to the school first thing in the morning and the children colored their backpacks from the United States. After the coloring project we distributed the backpacks to the children that were first in their respective classes and handed out the tuition money. Then we had the soccer game with the mission ball, but before we played, we explained that this was very special ball in that it shared the gospel of Jesus Christ. After an exciting game Val shared her testimony, her sister read the bible, and Fred explained the significance of the scripture that was read. We then gave out salvation booklets to the parents.

That's all so far. We'll go into greater detail a little later. Thanks everyone for your prayers.

God Bless
