Dear Friends and Family,
I don't want to break any hearts but.... this little girl's parents died recently and she has been taken to Letti's orphanage. Isn't she beautiful? I wish I could send her home to you.
We visited the orphanage this afternoon. They have 10 children that live there full time but they feed 150 every afternoon after school. A member of the church owns a grocery store and he gives them a lot of food - corn maize, beans, cabbage etc. I took some really good video but I don't know how to send it - besides the internet is so slow I don't know if I could. I will try and send some pictures though but I haven't been having a lot of luck with that today either.
We enjoyed our visit - the children sang to us. Their songs are always about God and Jesus Christ and how good they are. Jim teased them and played a couple of games with them. They loved it. His school patrol training camps were good training for this.

Oh what a beautiful child! What will happen to her now? Do they usually end up living out their childhood in the orphanages? I hope she can be adopted soon.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is absolutely breathtaking!!!
Nancy & Jim. I love the opportunity to keep up with what you are doing on your Mission.
ReplyDeleteKim... thank you for posting their letters and photos on the Blog. It is delightful. I must say though, that I find your latest choice of background and colors very difficult to read.
My sister put up the background - I'm just chatting with Mom right now and she's not sure she likes it either. We'll see if we can find something else. :)
