Thursday

Today we had another amazing day at Alpha y Omega Orphanage. We were finished painting indoors so we painted the one wall outside. Dinora said that yesterday the kids asked her if we were going to paint the outside too because they wanted the whole building to look nice. We painted the wall beige with brown at the bottom. Before painting, we scraped the walls with several of the boys taking turns helping us. The kids are really good workers. Some of the guys continued laying block in the bathrooms to divide the stalls. In the afternoon we enjoyed doing some crafts with the kids, including tissue paper flowers, which they loved. Tonight we had a few of the people from the church come to our hotel to visit and tell us a little more about Honduras and the church's youth group. We are all tired, but we are loving working and playing at the orphanage. We have also been enjoying lots of laughter and teasing. The kids at the orphanage are amazing and each of us has "adopted" at least one of them. It will be hard to say goodbye tomorrow. It's hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day at the orphanage, but we are excited to come home soon!
