Greetings Friends,

Happy Valentine’s Day to you! It is a day of love – a day to share your feelings and a day to remember those who have been there for you. Again, I want to share my deepest gratitude for your love towards me, this mission, and especially these children. This Orphan’s Children Project was a little different. This orphanage is for kids under 4 years old. The majority of the children (over 100) are still under 1 year. However, we presented the Gospel for those who were between 2 and 4. Pray that the seed planted in them will continue to grow!
 


There were skits, a puppet show, sing-a-long-songs, and presents for all the kids. (However, the majority of the gift money went into necessities for the kids, such as diapers, bedding, cups, etc.)
 

 


It was great fun just playing with these children afterwards. We had a great time with balloons. One of my favorite things was that I made faces at this one boy and he would make faces at me – and then we would laugh – we had most of the workers laughing – because we played this little game most of the time. He actually kept looking at me and doing the face and we would laugh together. I wish I could adopt the little guy – he stole my heart in such a short time. You can the see pictures of him…I wish I could send you the video – it is too funny.

Blessings again – and HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all!

Remember – we are NEVER ALONE – JESUS IS RIGHT BY OUR SIDES!

Your friend,

Rick

PS – there are so many more cute pictures, I hope I didn’t fill up your email box – I just want you to share in the joy of these happy kids!
