Sunrise brought us the first glimpse of the mountain range around the city. Started off day with personal devotions in "The Adventure" book and tasty breakfast by Marcy, the orphanage director. We loaded the vans for church service at the orphanage to meet the children. They range in age from 3 - 17 years old. We joined in on the service by singing one of our spanish songs 
and a handful of students sharing their testimony. Each student was assigned an orphan to hang out with at the park for the day. In our short time with the children, we experienced instant connection and Christ-like love flowing out. It was awesome seeing our team dive in and love on the children. We ate lunch, played at the park and rode kiddie rides until 4pm. Afterwards, we went on a casual guided tour around the marketplace/city with Jeremy, our host missionary. We ate a delicious dinner out on the town at a local mexican joint. After cleaning up and relaxing for a little bit, we came together as a group for a debriefing and sharing time. Our hearts were full and it was such a blessing to hear all the stories from the team and how God spoke to them individually. Construction work starts tomorrow.
