Up early -

Breakfast at 6:00. Kids are in good spirits!

Sat on the veranda this morning watching the wind whip the palm leaves. Looks like a storm is coming.

Yesterday we visited a more remote village. Like going back a hundred years...

Women carried firewood on their backs with a strap that went across their forehead.

Primitive outdoor kitchen in the center of the village where a woman was baking. Small pigs asleep under the kitchen table.

Once again, the locals were warm, friendly, welcoming.

Last night we attended a worship service with the kids from the orphanage. Our group split up and sat with the locals.

After services, someone found a broom and started a limbo competition. The little kids loved it. The big kids loved it. The adults loved it. Amazing how much fun you can have with a broom stick.

Thank you for your prayers!

Love ya -
