A bit Rocky

Well I have been at the orphanage about 5 days now and things are a bit rocky for me. I spend most of my time in the orphanage working with the kids and hanging out with Pieter, Rika, and the other volunteers. I am longing to spend time in the community, but it is not something that happens very often. I went out with some of the guys today to dig a trench. We are attempting to get water to one of the grandparents houses (some of the money you gave went to pay for this water project thank you sooo much), but I left after we had gotten the supplies. I should have stayed and played with the kids or something, but instead I went into Maputo with the girls and ran errands. But I will get to go out into the community again on wednesday to deliver food to the families and spend time there. I will also be using some of the money that you all donated to build a kitchen for one of the grandparents in the community

I also got to give the kids all of the toys and clothes that you at the church donated today. They loved them! And Pieter and Rika are soooo thankful for all of the supplies. Their shelves are full!

So another day in Mozambique is finished and I am filled with thankfulness for this opportunity. I don't know what the Lord will teach me here, but I cannot wait to find out. I am already feeling broken and am waiting for the Father to grow me up, to refine me and make me more like himself.

Keep praying for my as I try to do life here, to serve here, and be content here.
