Got to Desire...

We made it up to Desire this afternoon just as heavy rainfall began.  It was coming down in sheets and the road was quickly becoming very muddy.  The kids were thrilled to see us as we were to see them but the rain cut our visit very short for fear of becoming stuck in the mud and the threat of the river crossing becoming difficult.

We felt the mixed emotions of being happy to see them and sadness because we really did need to leave.  But as we debriefed our day, clearly the team took it in stride.

Tomorrow we take the day to travel to a beautiful remote mountain town called Marmelade where The Global Orphan Project has an orphan project.  We wanted to use our extra day to bless the children of Marmelade because it is rare for teams to visit because of the long, steep, narrow, twisty roads to get there.  We anticipate it taking over two hours to navigate the mountain roads.  Photos to follow tomorrow...

Please continue praying as a couple of us are trying to shake a cold we brought with us.  The team is doing well and excited to see what The Lord has in store in the coming days.
