Hey look I am blogging...for once.
Today has been a great day! We got to go to a school this morning (and yesterday) and talked to them all about human trafficking. Yesterday we talked to a group of all girls and a few of them really seemed impacted by our information. The response was awesome to see. We have been so welcomed by most everyone and that has put my heart at ease!
In the evenings we help run a 3 hour camp. We do skits, music, testimonies, and games for children who (most of them) do not know Jesus. The first day was a little rough considering we had only a couple hours to prepare a lot of material.  Haha. But we have found our stride and the children enjoy it much more. They love to talk with us (through one of our awesome translators) and just be around us. Most of them are very poor. It broke my heart to see one little girl taking handfuls of cookies at snack time and stashing them in her bag. She has 11 brothers and sisters and they are very poor.
 It is amazing to have the honor to share with them about God and try to give them something else to hope for through the talents that God has given each one of us. We all have such a crucial role and each of us brings a different and awesome talent to the triangle...well there's seven of us sooo...septagon? Haha I guess God really knows what he is doing. Of course! But it's so awesome to be part of God's plan for not only my life and my purpose but to help others find theirs. Please continue to pray for us! I hope all is well at home and we are praying for you too.
