Hi all!
So we just thought we'd update you a little with what we've been doing these past few days. Both today and Monday we have been able to spend some time with the elderly here at Ebenezer. We've taken them on walks around the soccer field, read the Bible to them, and just helped them get to and from the dinning hall and stuff like that. It's been interesting, but good so far! :) We are also still helping out a little at the Preschool in the mornings. Right now the schools are on break for 3 weeks, so we don't have nearly as many kids at preschool as we did before. This has certainly helped to cut down on the chaos!
The rest of this week we will continue to focus on the elderly and the preschool. Next week we are planning to do some different programs with the school kids that are on break and we will also be preparing for when Amanda and Shirley come the following week. Then we'll be headed home! It's amazing how fast time flies by!
Something that you can be praying for is our continued physical health. One of the little girls here at Ebenezer has worms, so please pray for her to get better and also that we would not get infected with the worms! Thanks so much for your continued prayer support, I know we've said this a million times, but it really does mean so much to us!
Love and miss you all so much!

Shelly and Abby - I love reading your updates and seeing all the ways God is moving in your hearts and through you! We are praying for you and can't wait to hear more details upon your safe arrival home. Soak in every minute of His goodness and love for the least of these. It will truly change your hearts forever. I know because it did the same to mine after spending so much time with children living in conditions just like the ones you are seeing daily!
God bless!

Wow! Time really does fly! It's already been almost 5 weeks! You two are so missed over here! Praying for you has been such a blessing for us, especially as we are able to see the outcome of the Father's doing through your blog. How fun!
God bless!

Hi!
I love reading all your info -- God bless you for your work and may His Love come through you to those blessed children and elderly. About the worms: they're probably pinworms which is common all over -- they live in the dirt/soil -- so be careful to wear shoes whenever possible and wash/sanitize your hands often, esp. before eating and after ... well, ... you know. :) That should help keep you healthy! Praying always!
love,
Mrs. Penny Williams
