First day teaching

Today was our first day teaching and being at Grace Home. As we drove through the crazy streets and small back roads of the town our whole team was filled with a nervous excitement, but the second we pulled up and all the little kids came running up to us it made all of our worries go away. After we got settled and had a group prayer with Pastor John, we headed to our first class! I was personally kinda terrified but once I got going and the kids started smiling and laughing every worry I had seemed to disappear and it all became somewhat natural. After teaching we played with the kids for a couple hours consisting of board games, dancing, volleyball (Lily and Faith were champions) and giving the little babies our cameras to play with. We soon said goodbye and went to the hotel to rest before we went to dinner. We drove about an hour and a half away to this mall where Pastor John and the grace home employees surprised us with a welcoming party/ Mantha's birthday party filled with dancing, food and musical chairs (which Faith DOMINATED). It is amazing to see how God can work in so many places at one time and be just as gracious and loving to each of his children. Although we are tired, we are powering through with the strength that God has been giving us.
