Photo #2.... Look at all those pretty nails!!

As I have mentioned we were blessed to move (shift) to a new home! It has been such a blessing and a constant reminder of God’s faithfulness! Because we have the space we are excited to host and be hospitable to other missionaries coming through the area, having our staff workers at Smile over for dinner, and inviting the kids that live at Smile to have some, hang out time!

So we invited the girls over for a ‘Girls Night’! We had Albert pick them up in the Smile van, get popcorn for everyone and bring them to our home! When they arrived I went out to open the gate! The girls were surprised to see us because all that Pastor had told them was that they were going to see visitors at True Vine! They all came in and we greeted them. We asked them if they’d like to watch a movie, they screamed with excitement! Then we said we have sweets, soda, and popcorn, again they screamed with excitement! Then we said we also have cutex (nail polish), another scream of excitement! We had such a great time hanging out with the girls!

We watched ‘Kung Fu Panda’, painted our nails, drank soda, ate popcorn, candy and cake! Then Albert came to pick them up and they went home. It was such a blessing to have them at our home, to share that space with them, and enjoy time together!

During lunch time is when the kids come back from school to eat. When the girls came back to Smile for lunch on Monday they greeted us with even bigger hugs than before. I definitely think that our time together over the weekend strengthened our relationship with them. We have also started a weekly bible study/story time with them and singing and praise during lenten season. I am excited
