The First Day

After a long day of flying, we finally made it to our final destination. This morning we attended a church were all of the children from the orphanage attend. Wow, it was so amazing to see how other people worship. Even though I could not understand what they were saying while they were sharing the word or singing, I still felt God's presence around us. I was in awe of all the kids up in front of us singing and resiting memory verses. Those kids had so much joy and happiness. I enjoyed hugging them and just loving on them. For lunch today we took the kids out to eat at a restraunt called Norky's. I was amazed on how well behaved 16 kids could be at a table. They were so patient waiting on their food. It made me stop and think about how I am such an unpatient person. I know that these kids are going to teach me so much this week.

Because of the Lord's GREAT love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
