Words cannot express the beautiful, joy-filled weekend we had with our friends at the children's orphanage of Casa Sanctuary. There are 3 homes for the children, girls, boys and chidren under age 12. We wanted to connect even better by doing events special to each of the 3 groups and then a large group gathering on our last evening - for a Christmas devotional and pizza !
At each of the homes, we did hot chocolate, cookie decorating, crafts, games and each child received a personalized gift box from one of the members of our home church's college group. It was truly amazing!!! Our first night we made dinner for the girls, the next morning we did pancakes on a HUGE grill for the boys and little ones.
The kids were thrilled and even spent time writing "thank you" notes to the individuals who sent them gifts. Those notes have already made it over to the US and the kids now have some forever friends via "pen pals". Thank You Lord - you are so, so good!
