The Journey: Living Fountain Orphanage

On Saturday, the 25th, the Living Fountain Orphanage had a goodbye party for Belen, who was the girl that first got me volunteering there. She had been there a year and made so many positive changes at the orphanage that we were all sad to see her go. But she is relocating to Houston, so its not goodbye forever for me! It was also goodbye to Nisha, that has been volunteering and teaching trainings for the staff of the orphanage.

we danced in to present the gifts to Belen and Nisha

About a week ago, I took a lot of picture of the kiddos trying to get a good one to frame for Belen as a going away present. I got a lot of them playing with their new kitchen set, dancing and trying to pose for the camera!

love this picture showing a little crack of Precious :)

Joy does not look happy and Samuel still covering one eye :)

all had become distracted by now!

lately I have been spending more time in the nursery after the toddlers lay down for their nap. With 2 little babies added, its a nice break from all the running and dancing!
