I am posting early today while we have electricity! Yesterday we had lots of fun! The tour of the orphanage was amazing! The kids went with us. We experienced lots of whistle blowing (The kids make whistles out of grass...very shrill.) We gave lots of "piggy back" rides. After the tour, Blu needed to milk the cow. Several of us went to watch and yes, I have pictures of Blu milking the cow! Ash, Aaron, Brandi, Tyler, Cassie, Kailey & Kenny all milked the cow. I was their encourager/photographer. Kenny also had the opportunity to scoop some poop! I did not get a picture of that as I moved very quickly. I think my dad would have been impressed! LOL! We had an amazing spaghetti dinner cooked by Darbi. Kailey led our group devotonal and did an AWESOME job. We then planned for VBS that starts this afternoon! We all got to experience another downpour when going back to our houses. That is the muddiest my feet have ever been! The kids stayed at Blu & Darbi's house playing games until late into the night. I think they were feeling it this morning as we had breakfast at 7 am! We then had a devotional with all the employees of New Day led by Blu. As always, he did a great job! We are now all divided up working on various things. Some are working on the classrooms, some are playing with the New Day Kids (We do not call them orphans.), while some of us are preparing for VBS. Lunch will be soon. Tonight we will bring in the New Year before our friends & family if we can stay up that late. LOL! At least the adults are still hitting the hay early. I think we are going to build a camp fire if it is not raining. You never know, with Blu it may become a bon fire!! I want to let everyone know that Darbi just posted some pictures of our team on her blog at the following address:
