Captivating

Friday, May 18

This morning was a breakfast of French toast and fruit. Good stuff. We have a man named Leonard that cooks meals for us. His food is amazing! We are never hungry and will most likely not lose weight on this trip…oh well. We then walked the path to The Haven, which is the orphanage that we will be working for during our time here. The path is quite a walk through the bush, but it gives you time to gather your thoughts and give your best once you’re there. I was at the back of the pack walking and so when I arrived I did not have a baby to hold while on the tour. I love babies but have never dealt with them on a daily basis in another country before. As soon as I held the first one, Quinton, I was hooked! We had time to go to all three Haven houses and I could not choose just one.

The boys in Haven 3 like to laugh and be silly- love love- Caleb, Lincoln, Joseph and Leo. In Haven 2, the little girls stole my heart! The first was Leah and there were two others who walked up and sat in my lap. I will have to lean their names soon!

Besides being peed on, it was great! Haven 1 has the tiniest babies- Botias, Tim and Louise were the favorites there. Now we are waiting for lunch…more to come. Hakuna matata.
