So yesterday I was feeling a little off again but after resting most of the morning, I've been back to feeling good again. It seems that whatever I had has been working it's way through the whole team and lots of them have been getting a 24 hour bug type of thing. You can definitely be praying for the health of everyone here right now. There's some speculation that I may have caught something at the clinic and that's how this whole thing started. Oooops... : /

Yesterday the team wanted to make lunch for all of the kids and the team to give the workers a break. We had Soila, Lita, Oralia, and Olga all come over here to do some activities and some of the girls from the team gave them manicures and pedicures. I'm sure it was a nice relaxing morning for them compared to the usual busyness and hard work that they do. The team made pizza and let me just say it is a lot of work to make pizza, salad, and dessert for 60 people. I helped out for a little while when I was feeling good, but mostly I just got to enjoy the meal after all the work was done :)

The guys on the team have been replacing some roofing and most of the girls have just been playing with the kids and helping with cooking and things like that. Last night Sebastian and Oralia (the Guatemalan directors of the home) came and shared their testimonies with us. It was great to hear how God brought them here and is using their lives to love and care for these kids here. I've heard their testimonies a few times before, but every time they share it's different and each time I'm just amazed at how God works and how awesome His plans for our lives are.

I have until Sunday morning here and then I'm off to Canilla to work with the Fickers. Time is dwindling down and while part of me is homesick, most of me just wants to stay here and spend all the time I can with these awesome kids.
