Life at Amazing Grace
We are leaving tomorrow morning to Sudan, and we stopped in today for a bit more correspondence before our travels. I've been taking some photos of our time here at the orphanage.
The photo above is of the boys dorm currently. Each of the kids now have their own beds, with mosquito nets. Some of the older boys also have luggage items that they take with them when they go to boarding school.
The photo above is of Lyla administering some first aid to one of the boys. After conducting extensive interviews with the kids yesterday, we found that lots of the kids are suffering from a wide range of diseases - from worms to syphilis to rashes to headaches. Lyla is working on networking with the local medical facilities to ensure these ailments are taken care of.
Our child Sponsorship director, Meri Malone, interviewed each of the kids, going over medical conditions, family history, and personal data. We'll be doing the same up in Sudan.
The photo above is of Haribi Joseph digging in the fields. I woke up early this morning and went to the Amazing Grace fields with the boys to help dig up some sweet potatoes for the day. The kids dig up the mounds and dust off the dirt, then take that in wheelbarrows to the orphanage.

Dear Dan, Erin and team,
We will continue to follow your journey and keep you all in our prayers.
Our visit with Julia was wonderful. She is back in Tel Aviv and are all missing her.
Please be sure to give our best to Susan and to the Oranjes and Mama Margaret when you see them.
Love, Dr. John and Nancie
You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hey, can you ask Nate if he'll leave his fan for me to use? I thought I'd be able to find one, but alas... Sounds like you're having a great trip, see you in a week!
Leisha
We are praying blessings for you.

MARY CHRISTMAS and please send greattings to all!
Dr. John and Nancie,
Thanks for the comment and prayers! I gave the threads to Susan and she was very grateful! Everyone keeps asking about Laura.
Liz, thanks for the prayers!... next year?
Leisha, Nate didn't bring a fan, so hopefully you'll be able to find one before you leave... see you soon!
Tim, thanks for the prayers. Lyla's been a huge help to so many people at this point. Please tell the church there hello from us.
mike, please see the photo from today...
