November Group




Our first night, we grilled pizza at Floreser. Rodo and the guys were in charge of the grill. The ladies were in charge of kitchen and the girls had a BLAST making their own pizzas:) It was a success! 


Our November Group!!!! Love that we take time to do our Quiet Times on the Beach. There is nothing in the world that is better than spending time with our Father while looking at His Creation:) 

We had the pleasure of having 2 of our staff here from the home office! Love you girls.  



Me, The Directors of Salvation Army, and Matt Metzger!
                                      

Working hard out at Salvation Army for 2 days! 

During the 2 days they were working out there, we gave the directors a break. Since moving here in July, they have not had any time off. It is the 2 of them taking care of 24 children. So, to help them reconnect and gain some glory strength, we took them to a hotel for the day/evening. Gave them some money to eat out, and told them to not worry about anything. Our group was there all day to help out with kids. That night, Gabo, Matt, and Chelsie stayed out at the home. Chelsie was brave to do the girls dorm all by herself:) Doing all the daily/early rides to school and everything. Then the group went back out there the next day to continue helping and giving a break to the caregivers. I can only imagine what a wonderful time they had and the energy after not having to put 24 children to bed. We were thankful for the opportunity to do this for them. God is good and knew that they needed this time together. 
I love this picture. We recently put up God's promises to the orphan child around both of the dorms at Salvation Army.  we walked in on the tour and saw this...  the promise above reads  "God promises to provide you with food and clothes"  and then you see all their after school clothes lined up under it. Makes my heart happy:) 


 This group had some hard work days. And because there was only 7 of them, there was even more work to do! The final touches of the wall out at Rancho are being done. The razor wire above is the only thing we have left to do. Here are the men sacrificing their hands, arms, and legs for the safety of the children out at Rancho de Los Ninos. 

                                       


For our field trip, we took Floreser to a beach near by and played lots of games. Swimming as far out as we could might not have been the safest, but it was fun:) We also got them burger king. The girls had probably not had their own whopper, chicken fingers, fries, and drink before:) It was a LOT of food. And the girls ate every bite of it! When it is a treat you don't let any of it go to waste right?
