Well we have now been at the orphanage here for almost 2 weeks! It's been amazing here and we've gotten to do a lot while we've been here!
We worked on spreading dirt for a new soccer field so that it will be level and not flood when it rains.
We've done various little odd jobs and stuff around the orphanage to help out here.
We went and taught English at a nearby school. We also had an opportunity to perform some of our skits and dramas and give testimonies at the school. It was so cool to have the opportunity to tell them about the Lord and His love for them!
We have also been able to plan a few activities here at the orphanage for the kids. We've had worship times with them, done dramas and shared testimonies, played games and one day we had a sort of carnival type thing with them.
But so far my favorite activity time here was a couple nights ago. We felt that God wanted us to teach them about hearing God's voice. So we had worship. Then we gave a teaching about how to hear the voice of the Lord, that He speaks to all of us, that we just have to listen. It's not hard! Then we gave them an opportunity to practice. We played worship music and then had everyone pray in silence and ask the Lord the question, "What do you think about me?" We gave them each a piece of paper to write down what the Lord told them. It was so cool to see all those kids listening to and hearing from the Lord! It was a powerful time!

We've also continued to grow as a team and individually while we've been here! It's cool to continue to learn how we all fit together as a team. We each bring something special to this team and we balance each other out.
I love and appreciate each and every one of my teammates so much!
We are only here a few more days here then we head to a church in Bangkok for our last couple weeks in Thailand.
But until then, I am excited to spend a few more days with the kids here!
