Today we woke up at 7 am had breakfast at 730. We had bread rolls and eggs for breakfast and then we set up bunk beds for missionaries who were going to be arriving on Wednesday. There will be about 50 people from Canada. So we moved bunk beds piece by piece from the compound building to our room (about .25 mile walk) then put the bunk beds together, then went back to get the mattresses! The team work was so nice and it was so nice to do something to make a difference AND I know how to put together a bunk bed-I am sure that will be in our plans at some point since my kids share a room!
For lunch we had that potato with avocado sauce and rice meal around 1:00, made the beds with sheets and pillows and then we had some down time.
For dinner they mixed it up a bit-rice with egg and beef. After dinner we had our debrief with everyone and Claudia, who takes care of the children at the orphanage spoke to us tonight. She is very sweet. She has been learning English and it just touched my heart to hear her speak. She told us that she was so happy we were here and what a blessing it is that we CHOOSE to come and help because it is needed very much and that she appreciates it very much! She was in tears, we were all in tears. She was called to be a disciple for Christ for these children and that is what she is doing!
After we prayed we sang some worship songs! Today was my favorite day so far.
