What I've Been Up To

We have been painting one of the feeding centers here where kids come and we feed them a meal and teach them a bible story, and basically love on them. They absolutely love being picked up. I think I had six kids holding onto my arms wanting be picked up. There is also one girl who got shots from some medical group that came from America, so now she starts crying whenever she sees a white person. I ended up making friends with her eventually though. The building looks great, and will look even better once we have finished, so I’m really excited about it.
The "we" in the last paragraph is referring to a group of five that came from Tupalo, Mississippi I have been working with. They also came to help out Alvin, and they all work really hard, so the painting is coming along really well.
I really pumped about going out to the streets at night to hang with the kids out there. I haven’t gone yet, and I know that this is really the most intense ministry that Alvin has going. I’ll make sure to make a post about how this goes.

It sounds amazing. I'm so happy for you and hope you keep in mind that you are there representing Jesus and you have to show them the same love I feel when I talk to you.
