I talked to Eric today. He didn't have time to email details about what they did, so I will try and remember.
They spent the whole day at the orphanage, finishing up their projects. Since they're done with the "work", they will be able to just play with and spend time with the kids on Friday when they're there.
He said that the power there shuts down about 10-12 times daily, so it makes it interesting. It happens at night too, so the fans keep going on and off. I guess they were told that this is done intentionally, by the government to show how powerful they are and how oppressed the people are. (pretty sad)
There are animals everywhere...chickens, roosters but not many bugs at all. They don't see many mosquitoes, but they have been bitten a few times.
They've been using the pool at the guest house, which he said is very refreshing after working all day. They spend a lot of time outside at night, just talking and getting to know each other better.
Tomorrow they go to a Baptist Mission. I'm not quite sure what they'll be doing there. I'm sure, whatever it is, it will be very rewarding.
He told me that, at no time, have they felt unsafe or scared at all. (which is very reassuring for us family members)
They are all really enjoying themselves and feeling very blessed by the whole experience.
God is good!
Keep praying for their safety and for their families at home...
Thanks to everyone who's keeping up with the trip...post a comment, if you'd like!

Love,
Michele
