Feliz Navidad

This is a look at the "neighborhood". Wow are we blessed to have roofs, walls, flooring, AND plumbing!
This is Hallie, Thomas, Ashlinn, and Nathan. (the boys are our neighbors...we are so happy they were there too.) A view from the condos...Gorgeous!
We met up with the elders and they told us about some families in need. Some people had donated $$$ and so we bought a bunch of beans, rice, oil, tuna, and other stuff and delivered it to 8 families. I couldn't believe how sweet and grateful the families were. We drove up to this families house and she was "cooking" in a bowl over a fire. All 6 kids were so happy to see the food.
Another families house and dog. Hallie don't go any closer!
We went to the orphanage and when we got out of the car like eight 10-14 year old girls swarmed us. Tate has a STRONG dislike for people that aren't mom and dad, so he was screaming. He was passed from spanish speaking girl to the other. They were so sweet.
This is a shot of the orphanage and some of the cuties that live there. We (our group) were able to deliver little stocking stuffers and some food. Jake gave a devotional about the true meaning of Christmas. I couldn't believe how well behaved a group of 32 kids could be.
