People God Made

Yesterday we spent the day with several different people.  First, after a very slow, relaxed morning (because we are all still recovering from the craziness of camp) we went over to a local orphanage.  Several of our Cornerstone folks used to work with this orphanage and we still sponsor a boy here.  So we really wanted to see it and meet our boy.  We got a tour, met some of the kids, held a few babies, and took a quick picture with Boris.  The director called him over and explained who we were.  He smiled, hugged us both, took a picture with me, and then ran back to watch the movie with the others.  I smiled as I thought how my own boys would have reacted the same way.

We walked back to Cris and Dani's house and on the way stopped by to see a friend of Dani's who is a single mom at a very young age.  Dani visited with her a for a while, and Abby and I tried to catch little bits of the conversation in Spanish. :)  This is a common problem here and one that needs to truth and grace of God to overcome.

After arriving back to their home, we loaded up and drove to the next town over to do an errand or two and to buy some groceries.  It was a fun experience in the market.

We spent the later part of the afternoon preparing dinner for the girls who were in Abby's cabin at camp.  They really seemed to connect with each other and it was a joy to spend the evening with them.  Some of them have tough home situations and really need the love of Jesus poured into them.  A few have given their lives fully to Christ and are walking in peace, wisdom, and grace. Here are the beautiful girls.
