Arriving!

Taking a trip is always fun!  There is so much anticipation in the preparation, the packing and the travel.  And then you arrive at your destination!  Arriving at the Children of Love Foundation is always an event.  As the bus came down the road, there were 15 children with a U.S. flag waiting for us.  They sang God Bless America.  They greeted us with a warm welcome and plenty of hugs.  There is anticipation for them and for us and now we are ready to go to work.

We had time to enjoy a good dinner of chicken flautas.  The kids sang some more.  There was jump roping, book reading and google translating.  :)  And in the midst of it all the Lord is working.  They are singing hymns about the love of God.  They are learning to pray together.  And play together.  And share with each other.  And they are all a part of God's family.  Learning and growing together with this group from the United States.

Pray for us this week as we live and work with them in this place.  Pray that we can help people see with new pairs of glasses.  Pray that we can help them see that God created them, loves them and wants them to be with him for eternity.
