Hello all,
Well, today was our actual first
day of work. I have 
started the enormous task of working on all these projects I have been assigned, and Bobby put in a door today. It was funny to see him try and communicate with the other men when he needed certain tools and materials. He did learn how to say "chisel" and "wood" today, so he is coming along well - LOL! At lunch time we went with the kids to do the OASIS feeding program. OASIS is the n
ame of the outreach feeding program here at HIS. The older kids
go out 3 times a week to a close village and round up the local kids, sing songs with them, teach them a Bible story, and then serve them lunch. It was fun to see all of the little kids in there listening to the Bible story and then eagerly waiting on lunch. It is also good for the older kids here at the orphanage. It helps to teach them that even though they have it rough, there is always someone else out there who has it worse than you. It also teaches them the importance of serving. The lunch they served them was noodles and bread. By the time all of the little kids were done eating there were tons of sloppy noodles on the floor! The local dogs were hanging out at the door...so I guess it is a feeding program for them too! Ha, ha.

This afternoon we participated in a craft with the mission team that is currently down here serving. Every afternoon they have a craft with the kids, and this afternoon's craft was for the teenagers. They taught them how to make hemp necklaces. Bobby even participated in the craft and made a pink and purple necklace, I am so proud of him! I just hope he doesn't actually wear it!
Robin, the missionary we took to the hospital yesterday, returned back today. She has received a clean bill of health, but she does have a follow up appointment on Tuesday with the cardiologist, so if you all could continue to keep her in your prayers that would be 
great. Thanks to everyone for everything...we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. We also want to say a special hello to our senior high youth, we love you and miss you all mucho!
