...day one!

Today was a super busy, super crazy day....but I wouldn't trade it for anything. And although it was busy...I'm getting this feeling that it is only the beginning of business for me!!!
I went to church with Cheron and the kids this morning.... As always...they did the whole "Visitors stand up..." which is so awkward, but(PTL) thats over, and I shouldn't have to do it again! It was great to get to go to the "young adults" Sunday School lesson...and pack into the benches just like they all do. I will admit though, that it was a little bit warm, and the sweat was just standing on my body! The service was great as well, and we even sang "Ala Bel Glwa Mache"
After church...we packed into a pick-up and headed back to the orphanage. I think all 50 of us were in the one truck. There were three adults in the cab...along with the four youngest...and all the rest were out back! It was SOO warm!!
Cheron and I went out to the airport to try to get my luggage...but it still hadn't arrived. They didn't really want to hear from us...and pretty much told us we would just have to wait. So, hopefully I will see my stuff tomorrow...hopefully!
After we got back from the city, I walked over to our old house, to see Grandpa Hess. It was so nice to just sit down and talk... in english...about all kinds of random stuff! I love story time with Grandpa!!
After I got back to the orphanage...Cheron had a time of devotions and game time with the kids. Tonights focus was on being "fishers of men" and she had several games... something for all the kids. It was amazing to see how she had taken time to get something together for the 3 year olds...as well as for the teenagers....not to mention all the kids in between. Some how a few of the older boys...who were refusing to speak to me...found out that I play guitar, and wanted to know how soon i would play for them!?! I think one of those guys may become a very good friend, now that he knows I can play! Atleast he hasn't stopped talking to me since! Enoch also stopped by while the kids were playing...so I talked with him for a little while. Guenson was with him, and they came in for devotions for a little while.
Devotions with the kids is such a beautiful thing. This evening, in keeping with the "fishers of men" theme, each child lifted a prayer for an unsaved friend/family member. It was beautiful to hear 50 children, lifting there voices to God in prayer.

Ok...running to take a quick shower...
