It's Friday!


    Today was the first day that we got to go to The Haven and meet all the kids. When I say that they are the most precious children I have ever seen that is an understatement. Their smiles are beyond beautiful and they are so happy.  
    After lunch instead of driving we walked to The Havens for the first time; that walk will take some getting used to but it’s beautiful. Tonight we went to Eric’s House (the house at Namwianga for the older boys) for a bonfire. The boys and all of the people that live at the mission sang beautiful worship songs. Later we had s’mores and bottled coke! We were a little bit too excited for that little treat.
    Tomorrow we are going into town to shop at the market, exchange our money, and go grocery shopping. Hopefully next week I will have the opportunity to go out of the mission and into the villages or the hospitals. I also hope to have the chance to meet people who work at the mission ad students from the college. The journey is just beginning!
