Indescribable

Hola! You know you are in another country when... You can't rinse your toothbrush in the sink... when cows freely roam along the roadside... when a drive thru is a man in the middle of the road selling bags of cut up fruit or cold bottles of water!

A week ago today I was blessed to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon the sight was truly indescribable. Greg & I took several pictures but it just cannot capture the beauty of it all. That is how I am feeling at this moment about my day. I do not have the vocabulary at present to explain it, even though I try. My next thought is: about this time last week I was walking through the Las Vegas Strip where people were mindlessly inserting coins into slot machines hoping to strike it rich. Sad thing, is from where I stand today, they are rich, very rich according to the standards of 75% of the world and don't even recognize it.

We painted at the orphanage then did another kids' program for the boys, we then went to another location and did our 2nd day of programs for them. The smiles and hugs and kisses were endless, they were so happy we had returned. They knew all the songs and clapped as the van approached. When we left I gave the Pastor a stack of color sheets. He was very excited, We had given the children crayons. He announced to the boys & girls as they left, "Come Sunday, we have color sheets from the Missionaries", "Remember to bring your crayons!" And the 150 boys and girls will do just that! What they accomplish with no supplies is truly amazing.... no it's indescribable!
