Day 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, (Saturday-Thursday)

Day 22, Saturday
We had English class this morning at the church. They all seem to be understanding it pretty well, which is good. I am amazed at how many people actually want to learn English. After the English class we came home and did not do anything else the rest of the day.

Day 23, Sunday
Again church this morning was amazing. Pastor Sean finished up Acts 2. It was an excellent sermon. After church we went for another hike. This time it was just Chris, Sarah, and I. It was a lot of fun. We went up to the top and got to look down over the city, it was gorgeous. After the hike we went to the Rafferty's for some dessert. The dessert was ice cream, and bananas with chocolate syrup over tortilla chips. Some dessert that Pastor Sean made up. It was amazing. We played a few hands of Dominoes and then we played a game of Catan. It was a great time of fun and fellowship with just the 5 of us. All in all a great day.

Day 24, Monday
Today was our day off. Again we did not do much. We hung around the house all day. We worked on our Inductive Bible Study, which was a lot of fun. We ordered pizza for dinner and that was basically it. It was a nice day to sit back and reflect on all the Lord has shown me these past few weeks. Can't wait to share everything with you guys when I get home.

Day 25, Tuesday
Had class this morning at the church with Pastor Sean. Reading through the book Under His Influence. An amazing book so far, and I've only read the Introduction and the 1st Chapter. Definitely recommend this book to anybody. Went to the Orphanage at 3. Sadly this was my last day. I am going to miss these kids so much. To see the way they have changed just over the past couple weeks is amazing. They seem to be more attentive during the Devotions, which is awesome to see. When we told them this was my last time seeing them they seemed a little upset. Big hugs and kisses from all of them. Did I mention I am going to miss them a lot! To see the love that they for all of us is amazing. They love the fact that you come to play with them and hang out with them for 3 hours. We are constantly told by Ever that this is the highlight of their week. Which is awesome to know. I am so glad that I have had the chance to work with them these past few weeks. And I hope I have made a lasting impact on them. To see the love that Ever and his wife have for these kids is awesome as well. The Lord is using them for amazing things. They are parents to these children and all the children love them so much. They have taught these kids well. They are very well behaved and very polite. Ever and his wife love the Lord with all their hearts. Perfect examples of people who are not wasting their life.

Day 26, Wednesday
My last day of the Inductive Bible Study. It has been awesome to do this study through the book of Romans. The Lord has taught me so much through the 3 chapters that I have been able to do with them. (Ask me about it when I get back, way too much to write here. It would take forever) We went grocery shopping because Chad is back, and we went to a Christian bookstore to buy a Bible for one of the girls at the orphanage. Watched Nacho Libre while we ate dinner. Other than that we did not do anything. A pretty relaxing day.

Day 27, Thursday
My Last day of Light Shine :( It was an amazing day today. Something new they just started today. They had a couple of the mothers of some of the kids cook the meal. And the mothers got to stay for the entire time to see what happened during Light Shine. These kids have also changed a lot over the past couple of weeks. I am going to miss them immensely. Saying goodbye was hard. More hugs and kisses. Again these kids just love to have you come and play with them for 3 hours. I wish it was longer, the 3 hours just fly by. I also hope I have made a significant impact on these kids. I love them to death, and I have only known them a month. I am going to miss them so much. Continue to keep this program in prayer and also pray for the orphanage. Light Shine is growing and that is awesome to see. More kids need to be sponsored so pray for that as well. One more day and then I come home. Anxious to get home so I can share with everybody what the Lord is doing down here. But at the same time I don't want to leave.
