We were very honored to have the Jordanian Army visit us on Saturday. The forward troops arrived at 9:00am to setup tables for a clinic and get the lay of the land for the Colonel's arrival. They raised the Jordanian flag, handed out backpacks to each child and ran a clinic to check the children for basic health vitals. Of course many pictures were taken for promotional reasons as well. Then it was off to the tent city orphanage to do it all over again for thirty more children. Regardless of all the pomp and circumstance, at on point I looked over and saw one of the Lieutenants' collecting stones in a pop bottle with one of the girls and another catching a young boy at the bottom of the slide! Priceless......
Patty Meyer joined my team of one yesterday, so plan on hearing some wonderful and funny blogs over the next few days.
This morning we were greeted by children singing worship songs early as we joined all the New Life kids for church in the beautiful, newly renovated building. Kids were raising their hands to worship and reciting scripture before long. New Life has had a visiting Pastor for the last two weeks providing leadership through scripture. He has made the children blossom in their faith. It has been wonderful to watch. One young lady excepted Jesus into her life for the first time. The afternoon brought sponsor crafts for Patty and help from a team from Florida and chores and new guests for the guesthouse for me. We have many crafts to do but have at least put a dent in it. So, week three is starting tomorrow for me as I continue to serve our risen Lord. I'm so thankful He has decided to let me see just a little farther down the road! More to come in the days ahead, so stay tuned!
