So we arrived at the River of Life Orphanage today and its amazing here. Deb picked us up from the airport, we had breakfast, took about a four hour nap, then woke up in time to shower and go with Mike to pick the kids up from school. I obviously don't have a camera anymore (don't want to talk about it again) so I'm just relying on Christin's photos as she takes them, so I don't have any from today. But there are currently 17 children here at the orphanage now and they are just precious. It's alot different than I imagined, its more of a children's home. It's mostly girls and they've had a few of them for atleast ten years. After the kids did their chores we all went out and played volley ball for an hour or so, it was so much fun! The kids are sweet as can be and the older girls can speak a good bit of english. After volley ball we washed up and had dinner, the kids were pretty shy at first but after dinner Christin and I went up to the older girls room and hung out awhile. They were so funny, we talked about boyfriends, school, compared our English and Thai, and laughed about silly things like whose feet stink. I wish we had longer here, I can already tell I love this place and the Wheeler's are such a blessing. We're laying in bed at 9pm now, because we're getting up in the morning to do the bible study with the kids before they go to school. Christin, Alyse and I are taking a bus tomorrow to the Burma border to do some shopping and see a more poverty shriken area (I dont think we're going to cross over though). I'll have less pictures now, but I'll hopefully get some pictures up of the kiddos tomorrow!
