Yesterday hung out with Lauren and Jarilyn (our new neighbors). They took me out on the town to a Farmer's Market/ Flea Market. Picked up some fresh fruit and veggies. Then it was off to Walmart to see how they shop for the Orphanage. I was able to pick up a few things for our home. Funny going to a store looking for items when everything's in Spanish. I had great appreciation for name brands that I recognized to help me find what I was looking for.
The trip there was interesting. Beware of people making left turns from the far right lane! Saw some horses being used for transportation.
Later we discovered that the chickens here are "muy grande". When they go up in a tree they just might bring the tree down if enough of them get up there. Goats were also in on the fun. They decided that the thatched roof of the chicken house looked good enough to eat. Unfortunately, the roof wasn't strong enough to hold the goats. You can picture the rest.
Finished stuffing envelopes for outgoing mail last night. The boys were a big help. It reminded me to be thankful as we stuffed envelopes for people that support the orphanage. It also reminded me that Costco and Walmart gift cards are great gifts to send to the orphanage. Next time you're at either place why not send a gift card? They really go a long ways here. Every bit helps.

This is also were you can write to the boys and me.
Heard we're getting a couple of babies sometime today. Please pray for the children here. They've endured more than most of us would ever imagine. With God's love being shown to them they are being changed forever!
