update

Well we are back at the children's home for the remainder of our time. We really enjoyed our time in the village and I think I can speak for all of us and say we all wil miss the children and people from the village. We did the same things there we've been doing, with the main thing being leading Sunday school each day for the kids.  

The last day that we led Sunday School in the village we were planning to teach about the death and resurrection of Christ and slavation. That same day there was a christening in the Catholic church so we were expecting significantly fewer kids to show up. We were a little late getting to where we have Sunday school and when we got there there were less then 10 kids. We waited a little longer to see if any other kids were coming. I can't describe the joy i felt when slowly but surely more kids started coming from all directions. God is so good! There were about 40 children which is about what we were having the other days and 5 parents. Many of the kids that came came for the first time that day.  I don't know if any kids accepted Christ that day but we told the most important message we could ever share with them. We were able to  plant that seed.
