Day 2 at the orphanage
Sorry for the short and sweet blog tonight but it is getting late and we all need our rest. This morning we started out the day with devos from terri and alice. This year our work projects... unlike in years past with there being one primary job, this year we have quite a few little ones. They consist of the following: tiling, painting murals, organizing the storage room which has turned out to be a huge undertaking with the mountains of unfolded clothes. Bruce and Mike went right away this morning and started gathering our materials from around town. Tomorrow we plan on getting to work with the murals and tile now that we have the brad, ally, and antonio here with our group. After lunch we went back to the orphange and did vbs... todays topic was on conduct and the story we taught from was samuel and eli. We went back to the hotel for dinner and then were anxious to get back to the orphange tonight for the bonfire with the older kids. Guillermo (translator) led us in a time of worship around the fire singing songs and playing his guitar. The children have the most beautiful voices. Tomorrow will be yet another productive day here in huehue... we ask for your continued prayers as God helps shape both the hearts of the children and the hearts of the members of this group.

Sounds like everything is falling into place and I can visualize all your activities, I even recall smells. These are life altering things that you are doing not only for the children that you are loving, teaching and making their living conditions improved, it is also working in you all. When you leave your heart yearns to know how these kids are doing, it gives new light to what Paul wrote about longing to see the Christians on his journeys.
You were chosen to do a good work
I read your blog, and just wanted to let you know, I go to the same church in Michigan as Brad, but now live in Xela (2 hour, 20 quetzal bus ride from Huehue, the largest city in the West) and speak both Spanish and English If any more "surprises" come your way and you would like assistance in any way, feel free to call me - 58611130.
Hope you guys have a great time in Huehue, and are changed by our great God as you spend time in this beautiful country.
