What are we doing?

So a few have asked, "now that you're at the children's home, what are you doing?"

We are learning more and more of how this children's home works and how our gifts and talents can be used here. Lee is helping to coordinate some work projects for upcoming teams, and helping to plan upcoming events for the kids. I (Staci) am helping with short term teams that are coming. specifically with the communication with team leaders - getting them the paperwork that they need and being sure that we have everything that we need on this end for teams. I'm also helping to plan a few upcoming events for the kids.

Next week, as you know, is Holy Week. The kids will not have school at all that week. It is a tradition here, to have "Holy Week Olympics" during the afternoons & sleep overs at night. What more could a kid want? So, recently we've met with small groups of kids who want to help us in dreaming up games & planning certain days. For instance, one day will be the day of food games. Ever tried make a plate of nachos by dropping the ingredients off the second floor to the plate that your team member is holding below? Or tried to eat an apple that is hanging in the air without using your hands? We'll post pictures next week.

Of course we are still adjusting to our 3rd place to live in 10 months. We are really enjoying our apartment here - it's quickly becoming our home. We'd ask that you'd continue to pray with us - not only for the adjustment of living in our new place, but the adjustment of working here as well.

A few of you already heard that we will be in the states in April. This is true - for various reasons we are making a short trip to Texas. We will post a schedule of places that we'll be on the blog in a week or so in hopes of seeing as many of you as possible.
