Today, we woke up at 6am and went to the orphanage at 7:30am. We finished painting, re-hanging razor wire and all the other tasks that needed to be done around the orphanage as well. We also hung out with the kids. Jolie and Paige got signed up to sponsor children. The most interesting event of the day was when Eric got mistaken for a doctor in the clinic. A Haitian woman came in and lifted her shirt to show him a scar on her chest to show him how well it was healing. He was unsure what to do so he just gave a thumbs up!
The van that drives us to and from the orphanage took us back to the guest house for lunch but couldn't get back in time to take us back to the orphanage afterwards so we ended up staying there. We just relaxed and played cards. After a dinner of red beans and rice, we had our devotional time, and then we played more cards and had a couple arm wrestling tournaments...Paige beat Justin (go girl power!) and Eric beat Bryce, but said it was close and almost a tie...
More people have been coming to stay at the guest house from all over the country. Today, people came from Texas and Virginia and more will come tomorrow. There will be a total of 48! 33 will stay in the main guest house with us and the rest in the house next door.
That's it for now. More tomorrow, on our last day.....it sure has gone by fast....
The Pics are us at devotional at the end of the day, Paige and her sponsered boy (Albert), and the rest of us with the Orphanage kids.
