MILLIONS!

There are millions of orphans in our world. That's millions of innocent children with no one committed to loving and teaching them as they grow. Far too many children aging out of their orphanages each year and expected to fend for themselves with no support and a great deal of stigma against their orphan status. There are many children with health issues who do not receive the medical care they need to survive or thrive. We believe that God, who offers to love and adopt each of us and meet our every need, longs for us to go and do the same. There are many hurting people in this world and many ways to help and we certainly don't expect that every person will pursue adoption. We do hope that more will.

Market Day

Our daughter Kim arrived yesterday for a week of visiting and it's a pleasant diversion to have her here.  Today we took a day off from our trips to the orphanage and headed to the outdoor market.  The high today was 5 Celsius so we wore layers and toques and wandered the market for a few hours.  We were able to find a couple clothing items for our little one as well as a few other items and went for lunch at a very busy McDonalds.  We had our driver drop us at the market and travelled home on the bus which was actually quite easy.  It felt good to spend the afternoon outdoors!  We tried to find the John Hughes Brewery but had no luck.  We'll try again another day :) A Welshman named John Hughes was actually the founder of this city !

Tomorrow is our girl's birthday so we'll be taking cake and a gift to the orphanage. We're not sure if she even knows it's her birthday or if it means anything to her but we will celebrate her.
