What will today bring?

Just waking up and this firm bed I once praised God for, I’m (Stace) ready to turn it back in!

What an amazing day yesterday! We were in 3 church services, one in Bengali, one in Hindi and finally, an amazing youth service in English! Kevin did a fantastic job crossing the cultural divide on the controversial topic… SEX!  We got back “home” around 8:30pm and no dinner was being served, because it was Sunday night. I (Stace) wasn’t really hungry since I had two servings of lunch! I was hoping to lose a few pounds while here, but no such luck! I love almost everything they serve; so much that I go for seconds, ok… sometimes thirds! We all brought so many snacks on the trip so we decided to come together on the second floor and enjoy a smorgasbord of snacks! We enjoyed tuna salad & crackers, a few PB&Js, lots of trail mix and beef/turkey jerky, along with some candy of course. We said it was sorta like our ‘Last Supper’.

Today us girls will travel to the Children’s Home… it will be a great time as we get to spend the next two days with the kids there. We’ll be teaching English, nutrition and hygiene. These 30 children have been abandoned by their parents for several reasons, they don’t have enough money or they simply don’t want them… We heard about one boy in particular whose nine years old… his mom came to the home and begged and pleaded with them to PLEASE take her son as she could not afford to feed him. They later heard that she ran off and married another man. The boy keeps asking for his mother.

The guys will enjoy a personal tour of the slums as they were busy teaching at the conference when we went. They will have a meeting or two later in the day. Hopefully the slums will capture their hearts as they did ours. Well, we need to get this day started, so until later… we LOVE and MISS all of you, thanks for all your prayers, they’re truly felt!

With ALL His Love,

Stace and the Girls
