Fish and Bread

There is a group that is visiting from Colorado. They are here on a short term missions trip and are staying at the orphanage. They were here last year too, so it is great to see them again. It is cool to see groups that come back every year. A lot of these people have known the kids since they were just babies.
Today the group did some different activities with the kids. They told the story of Jesus feeding the 5 thousand. The kids made a really cute project where they put tissue paper in a plastic cut out of a fish. Then they weaved together paper to make the basket where the fish were placed.

In church on Sunday we were asked to pray for one of the members' nephew. He is 24 years old and he was shot while trying to protect the president last Thursday night. I would ask that you would pray for him too as he is in the hospital and has to undergo many surgeries.

Very soon three of the children from here will be adopted. Over the past few months many children have been adopted from here in Ecuador as well as in the United States. We also have some new children who have joined the orphanage. Below is one of the newer members. His name is Michael.
