Yesterday was another warm, sunny day.\u00a0 We have had amazing weather!\u00a0 It is very hot in the sun, but as there is no humidity, it is quite pleasant in the shade.<\/p>\n

Our youth spent the morning training the Children\u2019s Vision drama team.\u00a0 The children are so excited and eager to learn!\u00a0 They completed the song begun the previous evening and finished learning a second one.<\/p>\n

Bev, Hannah, and I spent the morning helping the boys from Leviticus House select new clothing. The children receive new clothing once a year, before the start of their school year.\u00a0 Each boy was allowed to choose four pair of pants and four shirts.\u00a0 They were very excited!<\/p>\n

The youth spent the afternoon in several different buildings.\u00a0 A group of girls packed away and organized the left-over clothing. The guys and several of the girls continued with the painting project at Numbers House.\u00a0 Charlie and Alex began building a closet in the school.<\/p>\n

We had a special supper.\u00a0 Our group helped make and serve 500 pancakes for the entire orphanage, approximately 100 children. The pancakes were delicious, especially with raspberry, strawberry, and chocolate sauces and a side of ice cream!\u00a0 It was a special treat for the kids, and they loved it!<\/p>\n

After we ate, our youth spent the evening training the CVII drama team. Due to a misplaced key, they weren\u2019t able to get into the practice room, so they spent 45 minutes playing games and hanging out. Even with the delay, they were still able to get a lot done, and enjoyed getting to know the Colombian team better. Before miming, one of the younger girls said, \u201cI have lots of energy because I had so many pancakes!\u201d Afterwards, she said, \u201cNow I\u2019m tired.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks for your prayers.\u00a0 The youth that were not feeling well yesterday are doing great today.<\/p>\n
