Hello everyone. Today is Monday March 31, 2008. We got to the Children's House today and the children were already for us to teach them songs and give them love. It really is amazing how much the children learn so quickly. Their minds are like sponges ready to absorb God's love through us. Today we cleaned throughout the house and reorganized the clothes and the toys, puzzles and cards. One little boy gave me his bracelet that they made during the craft time. I felt so special because they do not get many things that they can call their own. They usually have to share things even things like socks, underwear, and other clothing. By sharing I mean they do not have their names on any clothing item. The children here love to go to school. It is a privilege for them. They teach about Jesus in private schools and public schools.

Here the culture is saturated with Jesus written on everything, cars, buildings and signs. It seems that almost everyone here believes in Jesus and they are not afraid to express it but back home the children are not even aloud to say Jesus in school anymore unless of course they are cursing Him, then it seems that that is OK!

I'm struggling to understand the vast differences in culture and the social injustice.

I thank you all very much for the prayers for myself and our team. If you have not been praying for the boys. Please pray day and night for children here and all around the world who have the many struggles that the boys in this home have.

MUCH LOVE to Scooby, my sis, lelly I miss you all and see you soon.

Sheila :)
