Renee's Ramblings

Wow....there's just not much more I can say.....
This whole experience is absolutely incredible.
The last couple of days Group 2 has been out at one of the children's homes. We even spent the night over there! Just a quick recap....
We went and worked on the campus....painting, digging, roofing....and then went to a local church to do a VBS. There were a lot of kids there and then had sooooo much fun. After VBS, we went back to the ERJ (the children's home) and bunked on the floor, mattresses, and my personal favorite.....tables. The next morning we continued to work on the campus and then did some team building events. In the evening, we went out to do VBS. When we got to church we counted 100 bodies coming off our bus that seats 36. We were totally packed in!!!!
Tonight is the VBS finale. We expect to have even more children there and we can't wait!
Just a note on our overnight....ALL of us slept sooooo good last night in our bunks at the compound. We also very much enjoyed our shower!
Please continue to pray for us as we earnestly yearn to continue to touch each of these kids' lives and the lives of the people around them. They are so loving, so open, and so appreciative of each second we spend with them; it is a pure joy to serve them.
Personal note: love to my family at home!!!!
