We had a great weekend with the kids! They were out of school on Friday, so we've had a lot of down time with them. Friday was very productive. They cleaned out the boys room and fixed their bunk beds. After that, they built a coup to keep chickens and rabbits.On Saturday, they finished the coup and went to purchase the animals. We now have guinea pigs, chickens, and rabbits!
After they finished building the coup, we did a lesson with the kids about the difference between walking in darkness and walking in the light of Christ. To demonstrate, we blind folded them and had them navigate an obstacle course in "darkness." The kids really enjoyed it, and some of the adults even got involved.
Sunday was a much needed day of rest. We had church in the morning, and spent the afternoon loving on the kids. Calm days are a rare occurrence, but we are very thankful for them!
On Monday, I started to teach some of the children how to read. They are very excited and eager to learn! Most of them are catching on quickly, so that's encouraging!
Prayer requests for this week: Comfort for the children and Amanda (a volunteer who has been here for two months), as she prepares to head back to the States. That the Lord will continue to perfect His power in my weakness. My sickness has been a struggle today, but His grace is sufficient!
