Our work days were spent painting happiness on the walls of the new orphanage. The guys finished their outside work early and by the end of the trip we were all painting. We had tunes on our ipod dock and lots of watchful eyes. The sweet worker kids were just fascinated by us, our paintings and our music. It was so great to interact with them. One day we brought 10 pizzas from a pizza shop in Addis (Ethiopia was once ocupied by Italy and they left behind some great italian restaurants). It was their first time tasting pizza! They just loved it. I am just so full of amazing memeories spent painting, laughing, eating and spreading God's love at Acacia Village!!
God has no body on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which God's compassion for the world are to look out; yours are the feet with which he is to do good; and yours are the hands with which he is to bless us.
I am blessed to be married to the love of my life and my best friend for 22 years!! We have 4 amazing kids who continue to teach us daily how great God is! Christine ia a sophmaore in college , Bennett's in high School, Cameron is in 5th grade and Tess is in 2nd grade. We have had an amazing first year with our sweet new daughter TESS who has taught us as much as we have taught her!!
