Everyone made it!!!! Well Vincent came in a little late but we waited for him:) Today was an incredible day, I mean everyone is completely exhausted, but it has been amazing! As everyone arrived today we had 2 buses that were awaiting the arrival. We had one bus for the guys (driven by ours truly...Burt) and another bus to take the ladies to camp. So we split up our luggage, said our goodbyes and headed in our separate directions. The ladies were welcomed by a ton of the ladies from King's Park Church for the ride up to camp. They took about a 1 1/2 hour drive and arrived where they unloaded all their belongings, got in their rooms and all the while building amazing relationships with the ladies of the church. This is such an amazing opportunity that the Lord has crafted...He is so intentional! And for the guys, we headed into the city, got us some famous PEPPER'S PIZZA while we waited for Vincent:) Don't worry though, when he arrived he took care of his fair share! Then we headed over to Dorthy Menzies for a little while to see what exactly the projects were going to be. So listen to this...we are going to: Re-due the basketball court, make a volleyball court, but in 6 swings, repaint their play area they have, repaint the picnic tables, redesign their clothes hanging area, remove a huge tree stump, build a tree house (this is not small tree house either!!! This is the real deal), lay sand under the swings, put in a cricket area (game not the animal), and create a drainage area to prevent flooding in their activity building! So you can say we are going to be a little busy!!!! But busy for the LORD!!! All this to say, when we arrived at the orphanage, it was just overwhelming, seeing little faces that were familiar, and yes....a shout out to a couple people. Someone met Phillip! It really is love at first sight! It makes everything, all the hard work, all that has to happen to fundraise, all the prayers, it all comes together right in that moment when you see these little children. It comes down to wanting them to feel the Lord's love and giving them hope! So we actually played for a little while and left saying that we would see them tomorrow, bright and early! ***And if you can all pray tonight, we are hoping that some of the gifts that were brought will keep the kids inside for the most part so that we can do some intense work tomorrow....lol...you know, just so there is not little feet in the basketball court and we have to pull a child out*** And to top off the night, we went over to the church, and was able to be greeted by Pastor! Please also pray for Mrs. Maganya, she is in the hospital sick. We unloaded all of our bags, and gave a special gift to Pastor! And let me tell you, he was overwhelmed!!! The sound system sure took him back! Praise the Lord! Now...everyone...is...SLEEPING! The ladies probably are not, they are probably having their lady time...but the guys are for sure tucked away in their beds! Hope you all have a great night, keep the prayers coming, everyone says hi! They love you! And are excited for tomorrow!
