Today we visited the orphanage. I had raised money at home to buy food for the orphanage and today was the day to present it. Elizabeth and I stuffed Easter eggs with candy to pass out to the children in the home. When we arrived, we were greeted very warmly by the house mother. I went on a tour of the orphanage. The home is lacking many things. The children need better mattresses for their beds, books for their library, and clothing. They are currently building a new location because the home is to small to house all of the children. We dropped off rice, oil, biscuits, millo, toilet paper, and many other things. It was greatly appreciated. I had a chance to speak with the children and let them know that people back home loved and cared about them. We prayed together and then they sang me some songs. It was so special. I will never forget their smiling faces.
