We made it to the Little House of Refuge! Some of the kids met us at the entrance and it was so exciting to see their smiling faces. We toured the orphange and have seen all the new improvements. We met some new children and we can't believe how much they had all grown. It seemed just like yesterday that I was there. It is so difficult to describe how special and precious these children are, my words will not be able to do it justice. I gave the two ladies who run the orphange a preview of what we will be teaching and they were pleased. Tomorrow Ally, Kara, Marty and I begin teaching English, science and geography. We are super excited. The team will start painting, washing clothes, preparing meals, making crafts, building some doors and playing games tomorrow too.
It was so wonderful to visit again with Maria the little girl that we sponsor. I can't believe that so many children rember us but that is one of the greatest blessings about establishing a relationship with Little House. We get to stay connected with the children and ladies.
We have a very busy day tomorrow so please pray for energy and good rest tonight so that all can be accomplished. We are all tired but full of excitement, I hope we will be giving more details in the next few days! Thanks for the prayers, Kristi
The fact that the kids remember you from the previous year is a testament to how much your being there affected their lives.
