Last day in Yekepa

Our time in Yekepa seems so short. With only two days to connect again with the children we find ourselves wanting to spend more time with all of them.

We started out the day with devotions again and again we enjoyed the unique sound of the drums and singing.

After devotion time we had breakfast and made our plans for the day. We would begin by visiting the Randall Godfrey School right next door to the orphanage. They have grades K-9 available next door. We visited all of the grades and spoke with each class. It was a lot of fun meeting all of the students again.

When we finished it seemed like in no time they were telling us lunch was ready. I skipped this and Mike and Jenny ate lightly as we were not too far removed from breakfast. They do take good care of us.

After lunch we again went to the clinic to visit with Moses and Caroline. They work so well together.

The afternoon allowed me the chance to visit some of the children that were around from the first visit. I spent a good deal of time with Comfort as she shared some of her story with me. She is trying to get more schooling and she hopes to go into nursing. The path is difficult, but I encouraged her to work hard towards this. Most paths are difficult so encouragement helps, encouragement and of course prayer.

I’m really tired now as I stayed up to visit the kids. I’ll write more tomorrow.

We will leave after devotion time tomorrow morning and head towards Saclapea.
