I'm finally typing the blog on the current day.
This morning Hilda & I spent the morning putting together bags to be delivered to an orphanage. There were several donations of children's clothes (900+ dresses).
After lunch we left and went back to the construction site. Cynthia stayed behind and finished up what we started. Apparently I was pretty missed because as soon as I was spotted, I was met with hugs and lots of yelling "Juli". The construction site was in a small village. We were greeted again with waves and curious stares. We had to walk through a narrow path to reach the house site. Once that house was finished, we left and walked to our other job site. Along the way, people came out of their homes to see us. Felt like a parade. Before long I felt a little hand slip into mine. I looked down to see a sweet little girl smiling, holding my hand. When I turned around, there were several children following us.
My little friend was sweet as she could be. She loved looking at my skin and rubbing it. The children stayed with us while at the job site. We played many games of slaps and I learned another hand game as well.
Today went very well. The medical team saw approximately 300 patients and we finished 3 houses. Tomorrow we are visiting an orphanage in the morning and will return to the construction site in the afternoon. Hopefully I will find time to post pictures tomorrow but until then...look at the Eastern Baptist Association blog and you will see some great ones!!
Love everyone!
