Saturday in Desire

Today was a full day up at Desire. This morning we held our English sessions including free time coloring and English worksheets. I am always amazed at how much the kids have picked up in the comprehension of the English we work on. The kids are doing great with it.
After a break at noon for a while, we went back up for more time not only with the orphan children but the community children as well. Our translator Volcy led the children in several fun songs with plenty of motions and them we shared a Bible story- and Joy was fantastic as our storyteller! After a while all 100 plus kids and our team went down to the open field area to play soccer, Duck, duck, Goose, jump rope, run races, become a human jungle gym, and pump water at the community well that we helped make possible.

Then tonight a big rain storm kept us at the hotel for the evening instead of going to visit our friend Jan. we had a great debrief session where we wrestled with what it means to be rich and if we are rich (in worldly standards)- what is God's expectation of us? A great full day!
