Good morning! It's raining here in Guadalajara this morning, but we are all still in good spirits. Lindsey pretty much covered all there was to share about yesterday, so I guess I will share general things about the trip so far. I personally have enjoyed my time here very much; a lot of us are saying that we never want to leave! The kids are so sweet and patient with our Spanish-speaking skills (or the lack thereof!).

We have been split into three groups to do chores everyday. The chores include bathroom, dining room, and kitchen. We do them two or three times a day, and it feels really good to help out around the orphanage.

Today is the last day of VBS. I think it's gone really well so far! Kristi and Nydia have done a great job with the lessons and teaching the kids about God. The games are really fun and Gwen has done a fantastic job with the crafts! It amazes me how much faith these kids have. I love hearing their testimonies. All of them have come from terrible home situations, but they've learned to rely on God.

I really love the worship time we have pretty much every night. We sing a few songs and then people share their testimonies. I had the opportunity to share mine last night!

That's all I can think of right now! I'm sure there is sooo much more to share, though. I hope all is going well at home. We'll see you tomorrow night!
