Yum-Yum!!

We had a great time today with the kids - several pictures on the team blog. We had a ring toss game for them and they loved it. We decorated visors and passed out smiley face necklaces but the highlight for them was lunch...McDonald's. We were talking amongst ourselves that we had never seen that many hamburgers disappear so fast. My little guy, Moses, is deaf (possibly) and would take a bite of his sandwich and then rub his tummy for "yum-yum". They have of course had McDonalds before but they don't get it very often at all so it is quite a treat.

Later in the afternoon, after we had gone to Wal-Mart - yep, I can't even get away from it here - Wendy had bought some cookies for the kiddos, so while her and Karen took those around, Misty and I spent some time in the clinic with Dr. Moody doing some cleaning. It was great talking with her - she has such a faithful heart and genuine concern for the children here. Just in case there is some confusion, both Mr. & Mrs. Moody are doctors...it was Mrs. Moody we worked with this afternoon. She is quite funny and has a different accent so it is really neat to talk with her.

Well, tomorrow is our last full day here - I am sure it will be quite bittersweet - our conversations have really been about 'what's next?' - not just for us but for you also - it is something to think about - I know it has me thinking - I mean what was all of this for? And what am I to do with what I have been given?

"To whom much is given, much is required" (Luke 12:48)

Hmmmmmmm.
