Afternoon at the Orphanage

On Sunday, we all went to church at the orphanages. It was quite the cross-cultural experience! I love hearing people pray in any language. How cool is it that we have a God that knows every languauge and can hear all of our prayers!? Pastor Bob spoke on Queen Esther, which is very dear to me because Roxanne and I journaled the book of Esther right before I came here! I never knew that Esther was an orphan!! God raised her up for such a time as this to save the entire jewish people--what faith she had! I hope this bible story was an encouragement to the kids, because God has a plan for them and it doesn't matter where they have come from as long as they know that He can do BIG things through us. 

After church, we had a meeting with Savorn and then played with the kids at Grace Place. Here are some pictures that I caputured through all the fun!

The kids love to give massages!! And we all enjoy every moment of them. I think Bob is enjoying the fan too!!
