Churc at the orphanage

Today we went to church at the orphanage! It was amazing and i cant wait to go back tomorrow! First at 7 was the feeding program. There were ALOT of people their. These are what the pictures are. If they come upstairs to church then they get 2 bags of top ramen. But if they stay down stairs they only get one. they always think that they are going to be short food, but theLord is always faithful and they have enough food. Its amazing what the Lord can do when you put yourself out their and let him used you! After that we went down to the coffee shop. Ok, when you think of coffee shop you think of Starbucks right? Well you are wrong about this one. We were in a village. Dirt roads, skinny cows, and huts everywhere! So the coffee shop is under a little tent thing. But the coffe was really good. Who knows if it was sanitary or not though! Right next door they were having a wedding. Weddings here go for several days and they spend thousands of dollars on them. Money that they dont have and that they will be paying off for the rest of their lives. After this we went to the orphanage. We talked to John for a while before the church service started. Him and his wife are the ones that started the orphanage a long time ago. They are astralian. VERY NICE! He told us stories of times that he almost died. 3 times since he has been here. One time was from malaria. another time, somebody was mad at him so they took an axe and split the top of his head open. He put his hand on his head and asked the Lord to heal him and he could feel it closing shut. Another time a bunch of drunk men were mad at him so they chased him back to the orphanage. He told the kids to go inside and shut the gate hoping that he would be enough and they would leave the kids alone. He went outside and told them to go away in the name of the Lord Jesus and they walked away. If you dont believe in God, i think that those stories would be enough to make you realize that it is true. You cant deny it. I heard them playing music up stairs so i went up stairs just cause i couldnt help myself. Some songs were in english and some werent. Soon church started and we sang alot of songs. This is no church service that you have ever been to. Its just so real. Its a worship service like you have never seen. These kids are singing their lungs out, hands stretched out, praising God. they really mean it and they understand. I was in tears. after we sang, John asked anybody if they had never asked Jesus in their heart or if they had fallen away. LOTS of little kids went up front. New kids to the orphange and a mother and her child. Then John preached and the other preacher translated for the other people. Oh and one other plus, the dark Rob Pattinson lives in this orphanage (for: paige, Bri and mandy! LOL)Or as Amber calls him, Calvien Clien. After this we went out to eat, at the river front. Very nice and i had a chicken taco. It was very yummy! Lori had a fruit bowl and i tried one of her papayas and i almost puked. i would eat a cricket over a papaya any day! After this we went back to the apartment and hung out. Me, Lori and Amber walked around for a while. We went to the market and walked around by our apartment. We found a coffee shop. I suppose we will be their alot, judging by who i am with. LOL! Lori was trying to find a hair brush to buy and they couldnt understand us so they almost died her hair! FUNNY FUNNY! Tomorrow we are going to the orphanage again! IM SO EXCITED!
