What We All Have Been Waiting For...

 Today was the day when the trip finally felt like we were in Sumatra.  It had all of the elements of life in Sumatra. 

1.     It was full of things to do.

2.     There were several changes in times and schedules.

3.     The communication barrier was evident.

4.     There were tons of smiles and warm feelings.

We started off our day attending PICF, the local international church, which in now holding services on camp.  We heard a great message, sang some awesome songs and were able to worship in a very energetic way.  All of the team members really enjoyed the service this morning.

We then headed back to the house where we are eating or so we thought.  Our bus driver took us to wrong houses and then left.  We had to be shuttled 3 times to get everyone over to the eating residence.   This is one of the many times that communication will break down and you hope it works out in the end. Good times especially with starving students.  When we finally all made it there we had some great chicken salad sandwiches.   

After lunch we went to the orphanage where we had spent about 2 and a half hours with the kids.  There were crafts and visiting and even a dance party.  Both the orphanage kids and our kids were so excited to see each other.  It was a great time!

We ended the day with some KFC at the mall and having a ”Hideous t-shirt finding” contest.  There were some beauties found by the kids. 

Well it is off to bed now.  Thanks for checking in!
