Today was awesome!! It was our day off, so we woke up and went to church, which here that means going to someones house, having worship, and a preacher giving a message. It was really cool and the house was beautiful with a great view. We then went to the main house (the orphanage) and had lunch and got to give our kids kisses, and then since it was our day off, us girl workers (there are 6 of us) went on the most beautiful hike i have ever been on, We hiked to a waterfall. It was SO SO SO beautiful and lets just say we got to know eachother a little better. ha it was soo fun and we laughed so much and had great conversations and swam and played in the most beautiful scene I have ever seen. It was also cool because on the walk there we got to meet cool people who were washing themselves and their clothes in the streams from the waterfall. It was such a great day off. We had a blas and it was so so so beautiful. Then we came back here, showered, and got to go to the grocery store. We came back, ate dinner, went to kiss the older kids goodnight, (they are really good at puckering their lips) and now we are just about to watch a movie! Tomorrow we start the 8 to 5 with our babies again, and i can't wait because I miss them!!! Today was a great day off and a great rest time!
Thanks for the prayers of healing! I feel much much better. I think i got everything out of my system. Continue to pray for these kids here. I saw a mom drop off her baby yesterday, and that was hard to watch. It is just such a different place here. I am glad I am here, but some of the things are hard to see. I love yall, and thank yall so much for the prayers!

Becca,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are feeling better. My church family wanted to know all about your week & are continuing prayers for you and the kids at the orphanage. What was the grocery store like?? Bet it wasn't a Walmart! Ha!
Hope you have a great week. We will leave in the morning at 6:10 for Alaska. Have your blog written down & hope I will be able to use ship internet to call it up.
Love, Aunt Carolyn
Dear Boo: So glad you feel better. You have many people praying for you and your babies.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is about reading these entries that brings tears to my eyes every time! I know without a doubt that the Lord has you in this place for a very very BIG DEAL! I am so jealous of your gorgeous hike... I know that you were in heaven on earth... I am again amazed and proud of you. I'll be praying for the start of your week with the babe's! You have been the topic of the Wagner household today... We have all looked at your blog and made several jokes about the 'cowzones'. We miss you and love you! I LOVE YOU!
