“Thanks for keeping the blog working and for being so awesome with me, supporting and helping me so much in this mission. Whenever things get hard here I pray, than think of you and your great attitude about everything and it makes all easier :)”

“…Today was my first day working at the orphanage, I liked it hunny, even though it is very very hard. In the morning I cleaned up the library and read with the kids that came in, then I walked around at lunch time and talked with many of them and took pictures. Then worked with the kindergarten class, they are so cute, we sang songs, played, wrote a few words and I took them to the library and read to them. I had the chance to ask 3 or 4 today if they know who Jesus is, and they answered positively and wanted to know more, which made me really happy.
I tell them that Jesus loves them more than anybody else, and they look at me really serious waiting for an explanation :) it is very good to talk with them about it.

But the biggest surprise was when I got in the manager/director's office to talk about the things they need the most, and about how I was bringing the donations, and I saw a picture of me with the soccer team, hahaha, they think about me as a supporter because I go to the games and cheer for them, so they printed a big picture that they took the day I went to see the orphanage's team play (the one I told you about) and have it in the office. They really love soccer

I'll bring the donations tomorrow, and they said that they want the Bishop to see it and thank us personally for that. But I will save some of the things I have to give to this other orphanage that is even in more need than the Good Shepard Orphanage."
