Hello Norconians,

Our time here has been so great so far. Pastor Jeff and Rebekah got in yesterday. It is great to see them and to be encouraged by them. We have had many adventures since the last blog. One of the workers here at the school and children's home was kind enough to take all the guys out to the mall for a movie and then to go watch the race all the girls were in. On the way to the race, a taxi cab diver claimed we had hit him, and we clearly did not. It became evident he was just trying to get money from us because he did not want to go to the police station. Den, our driver and friend, handled the situation with great care. We ended up spending about an hour and a half with the man until we were able to leave.
Our time with the kids here has been so great! We get to have devotions with the older boys every night. We are taking them through the life of Paul. They sometimes seen to not be listening at all, then one of them will ask a great question about what we talked about. Be praying that the boys would understand the importance of what the Bible teaches and how that should impact the way we live in a huge way. Garret is doing a great job talking with the boys outside the home, who are a pretty rough group. Be praying that the Gospel will be shared and that they will understand it, and the Lord would show them grace. We have played hours and hours of basketball with the boys, which has been also great. They love the game.
We finished up one of our main jobs in the construction yesterday, and are about to start a new one this morning. Thanks you for all your prayers, we miss you guys.
