Day 5

Schools!  That was the mission today, so we visited two of them. 

While we were doing the programs at one of the schools, people next door could hear and see what was going on through a little window and wanting to be a part of it began to gather around.  Noticing that other people were indeed watching and listening, a couple of us went over to talk and pray with them.  Shortly after, the pastor came up and asked if anyone wanted to know more about God.  One lady responded, and we later saw her accepting Christ into her life!  That was so cool!

We also traveled to another school next to the boys' home. There were about 150-200 kids there. When our program was finished we had about 30 kids accept Christ into their lives!

In the afternoon we went to the girls' orphanage and just played with them for a couple of hours.  I could see a difference in the girls at the orphanage from the girls in the village. These girls had that independent mind set, but they were a family and didn't fight for your attention. However, they loved it when you gave it to them and their eyes just sparkled! Children are a gift from God and being with them all day was a big blessing.

Today was Ella's birthday and Pastor Aaron made a cake for her... it consisted of Slim Jims, peanut butter, peanuts and Mentos!   Yes, just in case you're wondering, we did taste it and let's just say one bite was enough!

After our devotion tonight, it started raining really hard.  A few of us went back on the roof and sang and danced in the rain. It was so much fun - another great way to end the night : )
