Go Team America
This is Justin here, writing about our Sunday here in the Kota orphanage: Raipura. Today, we held the church service. I did the introduction and Alexis and Angela held the service using Vegitale Movie clips. Then Alexis and Allie led in some songs. The kids loved the chapel! After that, we went and ate lunch and played soccer (or futbol) with the kids. We were team America and they were team India. (The picture is of Team America). We won 6-4!!! These kids are so amazing. My heart is completely broken after spending a few days with these precious kids. I don't know how I am going to be able to leave! I had a great chance to just chat with many of them and had a great conversation with a guy named Zahn (that's us in the picture).
We also distributed sports equiptment that Austin and one of our Emmanuel friends, Alex, went and purchased. They were soooo thrilled and so appreciative.
Tucking the kids in at night is so unbelievable. They long for your touch and speech. We had fun just being in the dorms with them hanging out. They are the greatest kids in the whole world. This is a poem they wrote me:
"The ship that will never sink is my friendship with you." by Robert

Can you tell who the white boys are??? Who is that GIANT looming in the backgroud? Those Indian boys look tough... So glad to read the blogs, to hear you are all doing well, loving the kids in the Lord's name and growing spiritually. Glad to hear Ansley and Mrs. Bowen are feeling better... God Bless, Jennifer S. Johnson...
AWWWW So sweet. Love you mom.
