Friday update (by Josh)

Today was an amazing day. We left at 8:30 to go visit an orphanage. As soon as we got there, some of the little children took us by the hand and led us over to color. As seen in the picture below, some of the girls were eager to style our hair, and anyone with long enough hair got it styled. It was amazing to see how happy they were just having a few decks of cards, some jump ropes, and some coloring books. And seeing what little they had made me appreciate what we have at home.

In the afternoon, we went to Astros’ stadium down here and played a 7-inning game against on of Rico Carty’s teams. After a flat-footed first inning, our bats caught fire, and with solid pitching of Andrew and Bryson, and a lot of good hitting, we won 8-3. After the game, Paul and I shared our testimonies. It was easier than I thought it would be, and the boys really cared about what we said. Later, many of them were saved. Today was a great day.
