This morning we visited Gilgal Bible College to visit some of the younger guys we met yesterday. On the way there, I was feeling nautious, again. I have been feeling like this off and on since about a week before our trip and I dont know what it is. When we got there, I was dragging, I was tired and nautious. We talked and introduced ourselves, and then Eric felt like we were supposed to worship. So, some of the guys and teachers went up to the front and pulled out their instruments and song books, then began to sing. Let me tell you, you could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in that room. The faith, love and gratitude they had for God was so strong, and it came out through their songs of praise. Mukesh, the warden and teacher at the college spoke a few words, and you could just see that he was so in love with God. All they wanted to do was praise God, and that is so awesome! I dont know what happened to me, but I walked out of that place just so overwhelmed with joy, I guess you could call it, that I couldnt even contain it, that they said I was glowing. I really cant describe it, all I know is that I didnt want it to leave, it was very comforting. I think we all needed a little reboost, and I know I got mine.

Right now I'm sitting in a cyber cafe at the train station, trying to put these thoughts and feeling to words, which is very hard for me. I cant wait to get on that train and go to sleep. For some reason the train is very comforting to sleep on it's almost like it's rocking you to sleep. It's and overnight train ride again, so we will be able to get some rest, because It's probably going to start getting harder and harder as the trip goes on.

After we went to the college, we went to the orphanage, and got all 13 of those kids plus three adults loaded into one vehicle to go SHOPPING. (All of us were in another vehicle) They were piled in there like a bunch of sardines. It was really an awesome experience because it was the first time they had ever gone shopping all together. Although some of us got a different version of the story, in which that they have never gone shopping period. They said it was VERY unusual for them to go all at once. They were so excited, all their little faces were lit up and had huge smiles on their faces. They were able to get two shirts and one pair of pants. You could imagine the chaos of everyone picking out what the wanted, trying things on, ect. So after they piled up again, we went back to the orphanage and ate lunch. I have to make a correction for a mistake I made in another blog. Melona, Jaison's wife, is who I was referring to, sorry for that. Anyways, she cooked lunch for us, and It was, again, wonderful. That woman is so sweet, and has a very kind and loving heart.

So today was our third day in this orphanage. For me, it is so much different than the last one, being that I actually got to spend time with the kids. At Emmanuel, I went shopping, so I really didnt get to spend time with the orphans. After hearing everyone's stories of what happened, and what they had been doing with the kids and what they felt for them, I guess I was kind of discouraged because I did not get to experience that. I wanted to, but it just wasnt there. Now that I've got to spend time with these children, I can say that I know what they mean. It feels so awesome, it really does make you not want to leave. We were playing with them, most of them are so talented at so many sports like football and cricket. I was playing volleyball with a few of them, and had a blast. It was kind of funny because they were not speaking English, so I couldnt understand what they were saying, which I think they wee meaning to. I had a feeling they were talking about me and plotting something. I finally figured out that they had been trying to get me all covered in mud from the ball, because everytime it would go in the puddle of clay they hit it towards me. But I was too good and they couldnt get me,:) even though I have stains all over my arms and feet. I actually have bruises on my arms from hitting the ball. I dont know what to say, thay are all just so precious. They were singing to us again, and their song are so beautiful. I really wish we were able to post some of the videos and pics, but it just hasnt been working out. We did our bible story today, and they all seemed to really enjoy it. A question Cliff asked when it was done was who wanted to be a Pastor when they grew up, and EVERY SINGLE had went up. It was like, wow, and you know most of these children grow up to become Pastors amd many other great things. Those children have almost nothing, but are so Blessed with so much more than just earthly things, like money or nice things, and even families. Although, they are all like one huge family, and it's so cool to see all of them together. I cant even begin to tell you how sweet they all are. I wasnt able to hear all of their testemonies, but from what I have heard, they are incredible, and I cant wait until you are able to read what they have all overcome, especially at such a young age.

Well, I feel like I need to say a lot more, but I cant think right now and I'm running out of time.

It might be a while before we talk to you again, because we are going to places which wont have internet. So I LOVE YOU and miss you! Please keep praying for us and the orphanages, and all the people we are going to incounter.
