We started the day with devotions done by Cal Buquet. He talked about John 21, the story of Jesus telling the disciples to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. After devotions we discussed the days plans which were to split up and go to the orphanage as well as the village. Dave's van went to the orphanage, Courtney and Kendra went to the orphanage. Shawn and Brad's vans went to the village.
At the orphanage we got a tour of their new building, which included a playground, more rooms for the kids, nicer kitchen, and dining areas (even central heat!). After the tour we spent time playing with the kids and holding all the babies. After lunch a few continued to play with kids while a few others painted various walls outside around the playground. They currently have 45 kids living there, the average is around 50.
At the village, they put metal siding on one house, and had two real difficult houses to build. After this they looked for the next building sites, but found that none of them were ready.
For supper we had a baked potato bar, and enjoyed company from Lazaro and family, Juan's brother Eli, and a couple families from the feeding center.
