Today was nothing but a blessing! We got a bunch of work done today at the orphanage. People coming together and the fellowship you get out of it is amazing. Things are coming together so fast and it is awesome. We got to go across the the street to the store and buy some drinks and i got the glow sticks brent gave me and gave them to the kids and it seemed like the older ones were more anxious to see them than the kids. At first we didnt have a translator but it meant more to me without one. When one of the translators came over we got to communicate a little more so i handed out a few spanish new testement bible and learned how to say god bless in spanish and it was like the most wonderful feeling to be able to be apart of that. Jason showed and taught me to tie balloon animals and hats so when we got to go see the kids at the other orphanage i got to be apart of making them hats and it was special cause we were like the best people on earth in their eyes for making them balloon hats. It was hard to leave when it was time to because i got so attached to the kids. I cant wait to go back and see their smiling faces again.
Love you all so much and thanks for praying for us.

Jake-
I am so inspired by the messages you are posting! I can see your growth just through your words! It gives me cold chills to think of how God is using you. Praise Him!
It's so amazing to know that the same God that is working here is working there in your heart. I can feel the same excitement that is within you. Continue to let Christ work in your heart and thru your that others may be blessed by Him. I will continually pray for you as you are there. Keep up the good work. Shave before you come home :) P.S. Let the Lord direct you to whom to give your clothes & shoes to. I love you.
Jake I am so proud of you. To have a heart for the LORD is awesome. I love that you are able to get to experience the things you are. I just know the kids there must love you, because the kids at the Grace Place love you.
I can jsut picture the faces of the kids that you may come across.
You enjoy and take care.
