Hello friends and family! This week we started our work at the Tuberculosis Hospital and we have already fallen in love with every child there. We have been telling bible stories, playing games, and doing crafts.

Today we went on a boat ride with them and they were all so excited and mesmerized at the water and the boat. They loved it so much and it was so much fun experiencing … Continue reading →

I also got to do a bunch of laundry since everything was sandy and smelled like campfire. It was hard to say goodbye to the kids, but it was so good to see that so many of them had such good families to go home to since Savannah and I rode home in the van with some of the kids.
