Hi everyone! I haven't blogged yet so I figured I probably should. Today was crazy, Redgi took some of us to a cute little store where artists bring their work. We have some goodies for you guys back home. :) After that little experience, we spent a few hours down town stuck in traffic. We went back to the orphanage for lunch and spent our afternoon there. Tashina and Jenna came up with a cute game for the kids to play. I wrote all of their names on a piece of paper and they were SUPPOSED to write something nice about eachother...it ended up being a coloring session! Many of the kids had me draw them pictures. We also spent a good portion of the afternoon making bracelets with the kids, they really have fun with that! But just like most things, it had to come to an end. I cannot describe the feelings I got when I had to say goodbye. It was the hardest thing. They had tears in their eyes as we hugged them. I don't know how they can handle so many goodbyes. It breaks my heart.
Sending much love to you all,
Riley
Thanks Riley for sharing. It was good to hear from you and how you are doing. I guess you will have to go back sometime. Donna
ReplyDeleteYay! I have been waiting to hear from you or your mom. :) It sounds like you have made some pretty special bonds at the orphanage. I can't wait to hear more...every detail. Continue to soak in all God has for you in the time that remains. Praying you all through with love and a grateful heart for your obedience to answer His call and "Go and be His hands and feet"....~Deni
