Our time is speeding by-it's Friday already. Today we went to Amani ya juu, a women's sewing ministry/company, where they employ women to sew projects for sale internationally. I bought a wallet from them last year. We heard from some of the women how they were able to move out of the slum and provide for their family. Praise God!

We also visited New Life Orphanage, an AIDS orphanage, but not all the babies have AIDS. We held and played with the children for just a short time. I fed a little guy, about a year old, then took him outside with the rest of the children to play in the yard. I tried to put him down a couple of times and he threw his body on the ground and cried. Looked like a 2 year old act to me. I picked him up again and gave him a ride on a toy, then helped him go down the slide. I prayed over him, and sang Jesus Loves Me to him a couple of times before we had to leave. It was sad to leave him. I cried. I hope he remembers that Jesus does love him. It is my hope. It is my prayer. Amen.
