It is so hard to hear the life that these kids had before coming to this wonderful place. You look at a sweet, shy girl playing badminton and here "we found her in jail". You hug a little munchkin with vibrant eyes and a contageous smile and here of the way she was abandoned. Many of the kids here at Arms of love come from big families. I love that there is a place that all 8 or 6 siblings can be together!
Spent yesterday in the "Chocolate Hills" in Bohol. Beautiful, but slightly disappointing to Marie who thought she was going to have "a little taste" as she likes to say! It was a day outing with the Arms of Love staff. As you can imagine, there days out are few and far between! We'll poast some photos later today.
Ellie and Rie are both well. Shawn needs your prayers as he has developed some sort of infection in his eye and it is really painful.
Last night we lead a party for the kids. They all painted their faces and we made a huge thing of popcorn. Felipe lead worship. We just love worshiping with these kids. Even the littlest ones belt it out as they close their eyes and smile!
