Today we painted the buildings on the grounds of the Global Vision Citadelle. Right after a breakfast of pancakes, juice and coffee, we were going to visit the homes surrounding the Citadelle to deliver bags of rice. Nine 55 pound bags of rice were delivered to the Citadelle and were divided into two cup bags of rice and this afternoon, we will be taking those bags to neighboring homes.
The painting project went well and the building was transformed. Lunch was ordered and sandwiches were made. The project of painting was more fun than probably any paint job done. Every mission trip has an assembly of people who are good in some things and some of us certainly don't paint for a living.
We have been requested by one of our leaders, Pastor Derek Hawkins to complete our rice bagging. As soon as we had more of the smaller bags, we continued. One of the orphans have become quite popular with the group. He has learned that hugs and love is a good thing. While sitting outside with the orphans in the evening, and talking on the phone, I picked up Kevin and he sat in my lap as I continued to talk. When I did so, the other children huddled around and it was a great opportunity to speak and show love to them.
