We are all here safe and sound. We had a series of exciting events on the bus ride over including helping an overturned mango truck that was blocking the road. Phil, JD, Matt & Ryan helped gather the mangoes and fill in the road so that we could pass through.
A little over half-way to the Mole, the clutch went out on the bus and we had to wait for another bus to come and transfer all the luggage over. I couldn’t think of a better place to break down though because we were right by a river and it was cool and breezy out. Genesis & Kelilah made some friends.
This morning, we all went on a tour of the Mole and visited an old fort. Then we went to the orphanage and met the adorable children. After lunch, we organized all of our supplies to prepare for Sports Camp/VBS and then took a couple of the orphans to the beach for a swim.
Tonight, we are showing Courageous in the town plaza with popcorn. We have been inviting men to join us as we walk through the town.
I know the travel day was rough for many of us, but we are recovering and eager to get to work! Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
