Day 3 – Written by Emily Lewis and Emily Stoakes
Day 4 – Written by Tim Wilson and Kris Van Gent

Unfortunately tonight, we were all too busy to get a written blog, as we sang and prayed at the hospital after supper, watched a movie on the street with the community, and tomorrow are climbing the mountain and getting up at 5:00 AM. So, it just didn’t work out. But, we did want to post some pictures of today, as we visited a deaf orphanage/school this morning and then held a VBS at the spring community we’ve been working with. At the deaf orphanage/school, we purchased 4 bags of rice and gave away 25 Bibles. We found out, they were out of food and were extremely grateful for our visit and gift. One could tell these kids haven’t been loved on much, as they just wanted to be held. We promise a blog to come tomorrow.
