Our First Full Day

Thank you God for another beautiful day!  We started our day with a prayer service. After breakfast we had a wonderful opportunity to visit the Leprosarium. Leprosy is still common in third world countries. It leads loss of limbs, therefore they are outcasts. This is a place where they can live and be taken care of with love and compassion. What a humbling experience. We then had a tour of the training center. This is where the students learn trades/skills to help further them in life. Some of skills/trades learned are computers, bakery, tailoring, automobile mechanics and small engine repair. It was wonderful to see all of the students so excited to share what they were learning. Along the way we caught up with some old friends and met some new ones. We had fun interacting and playing with all of the kids. And there are A LOT!  Following lunch we went over to the church that we will be working on while we are here. John, Andy, Josh, Tom and Jim worked with the locals to assess the needs for building a roof. As they worked on the inside Alisha, Kendal, Sho, Marie, Scott and Suzanne played with the kids from the village. Later in the evening we enjoyed a visit to the girls dormitory. WOW! is all we can say!  The singing is so inspirational and moving. We can't wait until tomorrow. 
 Sorry we are unable to send pictures at this time. The Internet is not cooperating.
