We are having a great day today. We were met by our driver who is
most excellent. He was supposed to meet us at the airport last night
but there was a mix up. Well, the Lord provided and our agency (All
God's Children) sent someone to pick us up and they were waiting when
we got off the plane. Nice work Lord! He is the master of covering
the bases. The mix up was solved before we even knew about it.
We started our morning with the strongest coffee made on earth (but
very good). We drove around the village that Jonah and Fits are from
and the orthodox church in their neighborhood (see photo). Then we
were off to AHOPE (a children's home for AIDS babies). This is the
place that Abby is doing her triathlon for. See photo of amanda and
the three babies. They just lit up when we walked in. the care is
amazing for these kids. they are truly loved on.
Next we went to a small shop and then off to see little Bedlu - a
friends baby that they are adopting. We had to make two stops and
several phone calls to even figure out where the orphange was. We met
these two boys on the street. We gave them pens and crackers - which
they enjoyed.
It's just 1:41 in the afternoon...and we've had a full day!
Thankful for a safe trip and thankful for Ephraim our driver.
