From there, we enjoyed breakfast and were then off to the Mothers Milk Program! Today sister pat planned a special visit from some of the children that have already been discharged from the program. After witnessing the new additions to the program who are slowly recovering from being severely malnourished it was so cool to see all of these happy, healthy little kids running around and playing soccer, catch, and using hula hoops! The progress they have made is absolutely outstanding. Sister turned to us and said "these are the babies whose lives you have saved thanks to your fundraising efforts back home," what she humbly forgets to recognize is that this program wouldn't even exist without her and her diligent following to the call God placed on her life. We are beyond thankful for her!
After visiting the program and playing with all of the children it was back to work on the dormitory. Some of the group pushed along with the tiling with the help of Crispin, while the rest of the gang continued to paint! We are starting to think this paint covering our bodies from the splatter won't ever wash off!
Megan and Alexis were then off to the traditional Lukulu dinner with Katendi, the mother of Nyambe. He was one of the kids from Lukulu that we sponsored to come back to the United States and attend SVSU.
We are looking forward to tomorrow when we get to celebrate Hannah's Birthday at the sisters house with cake and a great meal!
Thanks for your prayers and interest in the work happening here, God bless!
