kids...

i wish i had a picture to add, but i havn´t put them on the flash drive to bring over yet. yesterday we spent a good part of our day hanging out with kids at an Orphanage. it was a pretty nice facility, but you still have to hurt when you think about what these kids have been through. the facility held a lot of kids, all running around from infants to 17 year olds. some of our students were really struck by these kids. as it would turn out, a few of the girls are girls that we had played against in soccer last week. one of the girls in particular had really connected with some of our students and it was fun to see that relationship continue. a lot of these kids just wanted to be huged or wrestled, or just looked at. they were enamered by our cameras and wanted to take pictures of everyone and everything and then look at themselves and laugh. dispite the language barrier, our students loved on these kids so well. some of the guys played soccer or basketball with the older guys and some girls braided hair and played duck duck goose.
overall it was a very impacting day and i´m excited to see how God is going to use it in the lives of our students.
