Hello Everyone!
The days have been tiring.... We have been working at Mattaw, but today we went to the Baby House and held different children. We took baby hats knitted by our Senior Ladies. They were so proud of those hats. One little girl, who has been there since 3 days old, usually doesn't warm up to visitors. She is 5 years old now. When we first arrived she wasn't too anxious to see us or have anything to do with us. Before we left we passed out the hats. She was one of the last ones to let us put a hat on her head. She walked with us all the way to the van. Her parents said this was a big deal for her to walk with us as we were leaving. So I was not only blessed by our visit but that this child finally warmed up to us. The parents said this must be a special moment to her. So I'd like to say thank you and pass blessings to the Senior Ladies who knitted all those hats last year. We made it to the Baby House this year, and they loved the hats. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
We had lunch with the children of Mattaw at the Funny Farm. It's a place where mutated animals live...let me just say that it wasn't funny. The children enjoyed the time we spent there, especially walking through the jungle trail and looking at the animals. On a whole we had a very good time together. The children love to be loved on. More blessings.
On another note...please be praying for the health of our team. We have all been exposed to the active TB virus. Pray for God's protection over us. One person already has malaria from a mosquito bite. I'm going in the morning to get a malaria test for myself. We are all exhausted. We have one more day in Mattaw and will head back to Nairobi on Friday. We will be finishing construction and taking pictures of the children tomorrow.
God's many blessings to you all for your obedience and love by covering us in prayer. To God be the glory!
HIS,
Angela
