This morning we went shopping on the Hip Strip, which is the touristy area near Fairhaven. We found some good deals and got "discounts" because of us being "missionaries." Another team of 18 people from Nashville came to Fairhaven today. It was hard to see them taking over "our " territory and our driver Mikey. But it's also exciting to have more people here and see the place a little more alive. This afternoon we went to Melody House Girls Home for the afternoon and played games and chatted with some of the girls. For supper we went to a restaurant called The Pelican. The food was delicious! We tried lots of new things including chicken curry, curried goat, mango chutney, and also had some wonderful milk shakes. The food didn't really agree with our stomachs, but it was still worth it.
Prayer Requests:
*One of the girls from the California team, Megan, is having trouble with her eyes and is in a lot of pain from them. Pray that they heal quickly and she can enjoy the rest of the time.
*Pray for the rest of our time spent here at SOS Children's Village and Blossom Gardens, which are both orphanages.
*Pray for continued strength as we are starting to feel tired and somewhat drained.
*Praise God for all the ways we've seen him work and for the wonderful people we've met.
