Joy in Serving Jesus

What a wonderful day we had with the 16 orphans at a local orphanage outside of Managua.  We took them to the zoo, then to Papa John's to eat...yes, Papa Johns! It had a huge jungle gym area that the kids could play on, and play they did!  For almost 2 hours! It also had a chicken clucking its way around the restaurant as if it owned the place. Then it was time to go swimming back at the camp. Jeff got thrown up on more than once when holding little Leyito, but he didn't mind so much. Changing the small kids and some kids with dissabilities was a tough assignment, but everyone finally got to enjoy the water!  Too soon, it was time to say goodbye and crowd back into the van.  There were mostly tears as we said goodbye at the orphanage, and we over-stayed because it was so hard to leave.  We want to go back to this place!
