On Monday mornings we walk the 2-ish miles to the Rehema Orphanage. Rehema means "Mercy" in Kiswahili (which I am trying so hard to learn!). When the kids see us at the gate and run to greet us. Totally precious! It is such a blessing to get to love on these kids, help the workers by cutting potatoes and carrots for stew for lunch. Several students from USIU volunteer several times a week for community service hours required for their degrees.
So after playing with the kids, we help them prepare for lunch. This gives us the opportunity to engage the students in spiritual conversations! Over the last few weeks I have got to share my testimony 4 times, talked about Baptism, Creation to Church, and several Bible stories! It's so cool to get to love on kids and talk to students outside of campus (where we are not allowed to tell bible stories).
This is Sharon. She is such a sweety and a new believer.
Frank cutting carrots!

Kayla and Levi...
Elijah! When you call his name he replies, "Huh?"
He is also very ticklish!
Aww... He hurt his tooth and crawled into her lap and said, "Momma!"
Amy and Baby Ester!
They love the slide!
Ryan (pronounced Lion sometimes!) and Ester!
Look at that face!
She is so precious!
Kisses!

Swinging!!
They love sitting like that too! In this one Levi was "tickling" Ryan while we were swinging..
