Shopping in lovely stores that sell used clothing from the US.

We were able to visit the orphanage yesterday...I will be working there Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was a beautiful place, with an enclosed garden-play area...I was overwhelmed as I remembered Amy Carmichael and her selfless life saving the children of India. The children and babies were more than adorable. One thing that I find funny is that they all look so similiar because of their hair color and dark eyes. When ones expecting I doubt they wonder ¨what is he/she going to look like?¨ But rather...¨is it going to be a boy or a girl?¨

On Saturdays we go to San Marcos to teach the children who attend the Bible class that Ricky and Tracie started. There are over 80 kids in one tiny room. Yet, even though I find myself in this vastly different culture....the children are somewhat the same. Kids will be kids, as the saying goes. Their attitudes, unquenchable activity and silliness transcend culture. I love it. On Wednesday night is the adults prayer meeting and on Friday is the adult Bible study in San Marcos, and on Sunday the church meets in our home.

I have to tell you about the clouds here! Because of the altitude and perfect clearness, the clouds are absolutely otherworldly! They are magnificent and colossal, beautiful and so white. Ill have to focus on taking some pictures of them this week. Ive never been so awed by clouds before.

hehe...and Ive never been so awed of the Creator.
