Yesterday was our second day at the 25 of May. Most of the day was spent inside the orphanage due to rainy weather, doing arts and crafts with the children. It was nice to be able to bond with them inside their home and to really play and interact where they spend most of their time. The smiles from the children are getting bigger and the hugs are getting sweeter and sweeter with time. I know our time here is limited but I pray that every ounce of love we give them stays as an imprint on their heart for a lifetime. Since the moment we met they've welcomed us with warm smiles and open arms and for that I am grateful.
The men set up the new benches our team has provided outside in between the soccer field and the basketball court to serve as a place where the children can sit, rest and watch each other play. Our guys stood in the pouring rain for a couple of hours working on the benches and were a wonderful demonstration of selflessly serving the Lord. I'm so thankful God has given us all an opportunity to experience this time with the children together as a team and I'm hopeful for our days to come.

Today we spent the day at Lake Ohrid and it was truly beautiful. There are no words to describe God's beautiful creation. It was another rainy day but the laugher among the group was greater than any other time we've spent together. Everyone's spirits were high and the joy we all had exploring was so evident. Tomorrow we go back to the 25 of May for a cookout and more time with the children. We're all so excited and ready to see their bright shining faces.
For His Kingdom,
Zoe
