What a busy few days! We've made it to the weekend, and it's the King's birthday so the city has shut down for a few days--not to say we're taking any breaks! This morning we continued work on the playground at Safe Haven and were able to focus our attention on the rescued children who actually live at the shelter. I got to know several of them and taught them my very own special version of kickball, which they got a kick out of. I've been working hard the past few days on several design projects they've assigned me--a logo for the sewing school, a menu for the cafe, a banner for the playground. We also prayer walked the brothel district this afternoon, which was certainly the most unnerving part of my trip so far. We got our first taste of American food this evening at the Casino at the border, where I had a mediocre hamburger.
I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the idea that I will have to leave here in just a matter of days. It's motivating all of us to get everything out of each ministry opportunity that we can, and we're treasuring each moment with these kids more and more as the days go by.
There is way too much to mention to do this trip justice, but I figured a picture is worth a thousand words, so I've included some as a supplement. Enjoy!
Wow! Very cool pictures!
