Hey everyone!

Yesterday was the first day for the three girls from the midwest. We first awoke to the plumber arriving at our door to fix our toilet, then headed off to the airport to pick up the other half of our team. Once they got settled in we went to the beach and swam around for awhile. Later, we picked up some groceries for the rest of the trip. The day was mostly filled with getting to know the other girls and them getting to know us. I think that we should have little to no problems with them as they seem to get along fine with our team :)

Today we finally got to go to an ophanage and start the "Mission" part of our trip. We went to Robins Nest and helped with construction, did laundry, worked at a preschool, and hung out with the kids. I loved just talking to the kids and playing with them. Two of the kids there had cerebral palsey and loved to get attention. I can't wait for tommorow, when we get to do a VBS for the kids! Our time at Robins Nest should prove to be filled with laughs and smiles.
