Sunday Afternoon

After lunch we ventured back to Airfield Primary School to pass out some handmade dolls that Green Meadows Baptist Church had made for us to distribute. We also delivered gifts for the sponsored children and other clothing and supplies donated by family and friends. We were excited to be able to see the children again. 
   The children were expecting us and were waiting at the gate when we arrived. We were coming to give to the children,unaware that they were waiting to give to us. We were greeted by loads of artwork that the children handed to us so proudly. When you think you are going to be doing  the giving God has a way of turning it around on you. 
  The kids were so happy with the dolls and surprisingly all the kids including the older boys wanted one. We spent a few hours with them while they colored and then they sang a song for us. We made a video that we plan to post on the website for you to see later. I will tell you that this blog is being written in the back of a van while we are traveling. The roads are mainly potholes so as you can imagine we have a lot of proofreading to do before we send this. 
   Jack was not with us today while we were visiting Airfield. He was visiting with a missionary couple and also his sponsored child Daniel whom he is meeting for the first time. We missed not having one of our teammates but we were glad he was able to establish a good relationship with his sponsored child. He was also thrilled that his luggage arrived today and he was able to change his clothes. (We were thrilled about that!!!)
