Kids, kids, and more kids.

Hello Everyone,

Today we spent all morning getting the house and compound clean for the upcoming arrival of our landlord. The children worked diligently from after breakfast, right up until lunch. What a great bunch of hard working children.

This afternoon we had an outreach in the compound for the kids in the community. Our children as well as we the staff did some skits, and taught and learned songs. We focused on worship today. On why we do it, different ways in which we do it, and had a great time with the neighborhood kids. We had better than seventy five kids particiapating, and it was great. Two of which where the twins (Opiyo and Achen), as well as several of there brothers and sisters. We had about a dozen of them come up for salvation at the end including Achen.


There was also a cute little boy with red sweatpants on, that were a little too big. At one point I noticed him walking toward the front and his pants just fell right to the ground. What a cute little guy. He must not have been more than one or so, and he took right to me. Unlike the little girl who came, and cried and cried when she first saw me. After a while, I got her to not cry, but she didn't warm up like this little guy. He came right over to me, and after I played with him for a bit, he wanted to be held. I reluctantly (YEAH RIGHT!!!!) picked him up, and we had so much fun. Near the end we gave the kids a couple of candies, and this little guy was no different. He spent about half an hour nibbling on his and covering my shirt in drool, and sugar.

What a great day......children really are such a blessing.

Love and miss you all,

Joe
