Since we are nearing the end of our trip, Bennett and I have sort of been day dreaming of our lives back home. I think this part of the trip is the hardest but also the most rewarding. It's hard to stay focused, but satisfaction comes with doing as much as we can while we're here. Today we visited the Joshua day care center again and the kids were awesome. They are so happy and giggly. We lead their rhyme time and thought of every rhyme Imaginable. After lunch, we left for Canevate, a Bethania home down in the plains, nearly 2 and a half hours away. On the way down we played a game I invented. It's called Yahtzee. Every time you see someone using the bathroom on the side of the road you yell "Yahtzee!" and get a point. I won with an exciting 4 points while John and Bennett were tied, each with 2 and Oliver in last with a close zero. It was a thrilling game. We arrived to a beautiful boys/girls home in the palm trees, at the foot of an enormous hill. The reason the home is mixed is not to separate brothers and sisters. After playing with the kids for a while we had a sort of devotion time where Oliver shared a Tomel message and then had dinner. Now we're all half asleep in our beds waiting for the morning.
There is no Internet here so this will be a day late and sorry for no pictures lately, it won't work from our phones.
Blessings,

P.s. haven't had Internet in a while. Went on hike was fun. Love you guys.
I can't believe you guys have been gone almost a month already! Time certainly flies when you're busy! Remember to continue to draw close to God to sustain you in these last days when you're feeling ready to return home. I can't wait to see what the last days-probably some of your best-will hold for you both!
ReplyDeletePraying for rest, strength, and that God would use you in powerful ways the rest of your time!
Prayers & Blessings,

P.S. Your "game" made me laugh so hard-some things never change ;). HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
