As we drove around the property, I was hit over and over with memories... The soap stone cross hanging in the chapel, I was there when Janine picked it up, I was there for the dedication of the chapel... The hill where I stood last year to photograph the arrival of 3500 children for a of worship... The cross with the baby handprints, now hanging on the completed El Roi Baby Home. That cross once stood on a hill, the home just a God given vision. So much has been accomplished in such a short period of time and now 9 babies call Project Canaan their home... Babies who had been discarded in a pit latrine, a ditch... One little girl, less than a year old, left by her mother for a week at the time... But now they have a home and someone to love them! El Roi... The God who sees...
Today was a work day for us... And all of the teams worked hard! Our team painted the roof of the baby home and Mackenzie climbed right up there and painted most of the day! You go girl!!
Tomorrow we're off to spend the day with 2 families... I think we need to be prepared to have our hearts touched in a way like maybe never before.

Wow, Mackenzie, that is hard work I know. So proud of you, love the pics. of you up there. (Hope you did not let your Mom come up there with you) I guess that does tell the story for today, "Just plain tired"! Sleep well dear ones. Love
Wahoo, Mackenzie the brave! Can't wait to see what you take on next! You are about to rise as I am laying down, I pray your slumber was restful and your morning is sweet. Love to both of you!
