Hello everyone! This week we worked at the tb center. We have gotten to know the three oldest girls at the center very well. Two days ago we took half the day to sit with the girls to talk and then do nails and hair. We then took them and an older boy from the center out for ice cream and an evening out on the town. It was too much fun and we fell so blessed to have gotten to know these girls so well. We have made great friends here and never will forget them. What a wonderful … Continue reading →

Majority of us were shocked to find that by the end of the weekend, we were almost as exhausted as when it started on Friday night, but we were more then prepared for the upcoming week filled with outings, lessons, crafts, skits, and the closing ceremonies. Monday was the start of our second week here with … Continue reading →

Accompanying the Olympic theme came Biblical lessons dealing with the Creation account and the story of King David. Because of the limited attention span of the younger kids (which encompass … Continue reading →
