We spent all day at the orphanage today. We split into different groups where some taught english, some organized crafts (great job Michelle Galvin!), some played with the pre-k kids, some cleaned up around the houses, and some helped the contractors we hired get started on the new field.
A group of us headed up to Chaiwan (sp?) which ended up being quite remote. They dropped off many of the clothes that we had brought. We picked up a guitar to leave at the orphanage so the kids had me playing song after song all afternoon. Its amazing how careful they are will all our posessions. I have been so amazed at how even the pre-k children take turns wearing my sunglasses.
Lunch was INCREDIBLE at the orphanage. I don't know what to call it but it was better than most thai food i have had in the states - even at nice authentic restaurants.
We spent a lot of time in the mud today as we leveled the dumptrucks of dirt into the field. The kids were hard workers thats for sure!
By the way, CARL NELSON, the girls remember you and miss you! They keep pointing out your picture in our albums. You ladykiller!
To my kids, Riley and Jaeger... we miss you guys so much! And we can't wait to see you again. We have found a few fun things to bring back so thanks for being such great kids for Emily, Jenn, and Grandma and Grandpa!

It's exciting to read the updates each day, you guys (you=entire team). And I'm thinking & then praying for you daily.
Let's get a couple of team group-shots. Who all went? Great to see the kids & hearing how you are all helping. Godspeed! WE love you!
We will all miss y'all this Sunday(the ones that are only used to seeing you once a week that is) I think it is so incredible you are all over there spreading the Love!
