Day 8

Day 8- Tuesday
Today we went to the orphanage at about 11:00 a.m. our time. Every time we get to the orphanage the kids try to speak a new English phrase. It is so cute because they are trying very hard to learn some English. Today’s phrase was “My name is Aya”. We then took them to a park that had rides that we could buy tickets to ride. It was so interesting to watch them because they were happy to ride just one ride despite us encouraging them to do more. They are happy with whatever you give them and will not ask for anything. We then had ice cream and Aya pointed to a candy bracelet so we bought one for her and one for her best friend, Mary. All the rides and food at the park were very inexpensive so it was a good, cheap day. Afterwards we took them back to the orphanage and when we pulled up we saw some missionaries delivering some food. The kids got out of the car and yelled to the missionaries telling them that we were their mama and papa. On the way home our facilitator showed us where we could walk around near our hotel. We found out where the McDonald’s, pizza place, some shops, and really good buffet is located. So tomorrow we are going to have some fun checking it out since we won’t be going to the orphanage tomorrow. Our facilitator has to do some paperwork for our court case on Friday.
Overall, it was a very nice day. Right now we are just relaxing and planning to have some dinner in the hotel restaurant. They have very good food for a fairly cheap price. The picture is what Jon had last night…YUCK….. Octopus, squid, clams, and salmon.

Prayer request: Please pray with us that the judge will waive the 10 day wait!!!!Our facilitator says it would take a miracle….well, I happen to serve a miracle working God, so please pray with us for this!

Miranda- So tell me what you bought while shopping with Grandma? How were the French dips? I am jealous.

Hailey- Did you buy anything? Remember, only 4 more days and it will go by very quickly. Have fun at Michelle’s tomorrow.

Trevor- Did you have a good time at Matt’s? What did you do? Did you get batteries for the controller?

Matt- You are so sweet for having Trevor over. Remind me not to be mean to you for at least one whole day when I get back, okay? No, really….your the best! Now maybe I won’t embarrass you too much at VBS.
