When we got off the bus at the orphanage, they did a dance and walked us to the guest house where we are staying. It was like we were famous or royal!!!
After we put our stuff in our room we had dinner. It was rice and beans. They have the best pineapple in Africa so we also got to try some at dinner. It was very tasty.
After we ate we went back out to play with the kids. The little kids are all so cute!!! We played on their playground and around the area. Then it got dark and we went back to the guest house to sleep!!! They do not have electricity or running water. But they turned on a generator for us for a couple hours at night, so we could read and get ready for bed.
I had a really fun time and realized how blessed I am to have been born in America and have what I have!!!
Have enjoy Africa we pray for Your family. Be safe and Smile with them, cry with them.
