After we left the market we went to a halfway house of a large orphanage called "The Nest." We were at kind of a satellite orphanage. This house cares for small babies and children whose mothers are in prison. The older children were at school so we got to spend time just holding the babies. The girls and I were in heaven! We were there for almost 2 hours holding them, laughing with them, and playing with them. We had a chance to pray for each one of them as we held them that some day they would find Jesus and would grow up to be strong leaders and make a difference in their community. I'm sure we'll go back before we leave. 
We've also had so much fun with our family. The kids have had a blast with their cousins. They were feeling a little better today. Still a lot of coughing but less feverish. Please continue to pray for our health.

Annie, I love to hear the voice of God in your words. How He loves orphans. How He loves the poor and destitute. And how the only real riches are found in His kingdom. Labor on, friend.

The children are absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad that you had the opportunity to pray for and love on them! Hope y'all stay healthy.
Ann, May God answer those prayers. What a privilege to be able to hold and pray for the eternal salvation of these little ones who are loved by our Lord. I love you my friend. We will be praying for your health, especially Katie's. Tam
