Sunday December 29th we were invited to attend the Christmas/New Years Party at the orphanage where we teach. We love the kids there and the Director of Sun Child is an amazing woman and leader. She is so compassionate about her "family". We can't begin to tell you about all the things she does for these kids, even the ones that have graduated from there. She continues to offer support to those who go on to attend the universities. Many of them come back to help the kids there now.
They performed some Christmas songs, then pop and other hit songs and dances and a comedy skit. They are so talented and fun to be around. We took the new Senior Missionary couple with us and they loved it. We were treated like royalty.
We were so excited to be able to present the 40 winter jackets that were obtained through an Eagle Scout Project! A great scout from our home Ward in Utah, BJ Echols, chose this project, to supply winter jackets to each of the youth at the orphanage. There were some obstacles, but low and behold, they arrived just in time for Christmas!!! It was a Christmas miracle! Thank you BJ and all those who helped make this possible!
The Director-Teacher, all the children and
the staff were so grateful to get this surprise
package! There were plenty of boy's and girl's
jackets to go around!
We were presented with a large cake and card, which was signed by all the children and staff. Cake for New Years is a huge tradition here. You would not believe the number of cakes that were purchased the last couple of days!
