Where do we begin? We are already into our work week, and so much has happened, and we have so much to share. It is hard to know where to start. These past few days have been filled with so many wonderful events. When we arrived at the village, there was a huge celebration planned for us. They decorated the community center, applauded us when we get off of the bus (before we have even done a thing!) and danced and gave prayers on our behalf. Our afternoon was spent getting trainings and organized for the work projects for the week. But the high points were certainly seeing old friends, and getting many many hugs from many new friends as well.
The stove teams are busy at work, and cranking out stoves at a wonderful rate. Floor team is doing great, too. The medical clinic is booming, and Robin is updating photos for the child sponsorship program, along with organizing the pharmacy at the clinic.
I think that one of the most touching moments of our week was seeing sponsors meet their children. I can't quite describe how excited we were to meet them, and then multiply that by about 10X excitement for the child to meet their American sponsors, whom they call "godparents." I am sure we will never really understand the depth of their gratitide. But the love, and thanks that we are shown brings tears to our eyes.
