We had the great opportunity to visit an orphanage this weekend. The missionaries living life with these sweet children are an inspiration to us. They live with very little and make a huge difference in the lives of these children. One of their "children" is 23 and will graduate this year and leave the compound. He has been there since he was a small child. What an amazing story for him to be able to now enter the workforce with a good education and a knowledge of Jesus. Hard stories with happy endings!! What a picture of why Jesus came, to make broken things new again!
It was also such a blessing to see much of Benin we hadn't yet seen as we drove 2 hours into the northern part of the country. Experiences like these will be missed!
On the drive-The colors and prints of fabric on the people here are so beautiful

The kids with our group and the missionaries that work with the kids. Taken after a great game of kickball in the hot African sun. That's why we are all glowing :)
