Big Changes

Mark and Sa met with govt officials this afternoon and they have agreed to everything they want to do. The 2 of them have to write up a proposal tonight for them to look over and sign and the university will start offering service hours to nursing students who want to work in the orphanage!! This is huge. Mark is such a networker and Sa knows how to get things done here.

We went to the bus this morning and 8 of the kids were on it! We took them to the "amusement park" for carnival rides. Some of them like it and some didn't. Lauren and I hung out mostly with Wai Wai and Tao Tao. Wai Wai is the little buddy with the deformed hands and yummy cheeks. Tao Tao has a cleft lip/palate and sweet smile. At the park, we got swarmed by the "paparazzi." Several reporters were there and I gave an interview. No big deal ;)

After the park we went to KFC. Tao Tao ate with someone else. We had Wai Wai and Jesus. Jesus just played with the food and WW ate all the mashed potatoes! He can't swallow the meat and just held a french fry in his little hand. They both also polished off way too much Coke! Tao Tao fell asleep on the bus and WW looked like a little zombie all day since we were gone for naptime.

Grace didn't look too well today. One of us will take her to the4th floor tomorrow for some serious sun therapy.

We need to go eat more Chinese food :0 It's all we have had except for today's KFC and that hardly counts! It wasn't the same and I don't even eat it at home.

Thank you all for praying for us. Please pray especially for the children!
