Our first full day at the Orphanage. We started off with a tour of the houses and dove right in helping out with the children. We were also blessed to unload 10 bags of donated items. We then inventoried them and are very thankful to everyone who sent donations with us. For lunch we had llapangachos (see picture below). Followed by a trip to the Supermaxi for groceries. We enjoyed seeing all the different foods and how they were packaged (did you know milk comes in a bag or box and mayo is in a bag?) After unloading the groceries we went to the fruit market down the street and enjoyed trying a new fruit (see picture below of Ashley trying it) and getting smoothies. Just before dinner we heard a presentation from Boris and Fernanda about their Dunamis Ministry (see below). They joined us for dinner and many laughs were had! After dinner we did a devotion and wound down for the night. So thankful God has placed us all here.

These are the donated items that came in 10 checked bags with us. Thank you everyone! They are so excited to have everything we brought.
This is the new fruit market. We purchased guanabana, mango and kiwi among other new things. We even had smoothies! We will be going back soon!
