When some doors close, others open.

I received a letter today explaining that I can not go back to CdE - ever. I´m not the only one getting kicked off. The people that are getting kicked off are people that have been helping out with the orphanage for 5 and 7 years. People that the kids love and adore and more importantly, that the kids know love and adore them. I am astonished by it, but it´s okay. My God prepared me for it.

This weekend I went to another orphanage in town. It is ran by a couple from Indiana that moved here 5 years ago. I love their family. I had a wonderful time getting to know their 11 boys (ranging in ages from 8-13) and helping them play their recorders. On Sunday, I went to their church service, had lunch, and then helped teach them recorders for 6 hours straight. I literally didn´t move from my spot on the couch. One of the boys was worried that I was going to get dehydrated, so he brought me some water and made me drink it right then. Last night, there was a Christian concert and message in the town square. We took the kids there and I was in charge of the neighbor that basically lives at the orphanage. It was so awesome to be able worship with the people of the town and to see a skit about the girl "that was just sleeping" that Jesus raised from the dead because of the faith of her parents.

These kids are already asking me when they can see me again. I talked to the leaders and they want me to start helping with English, Math, and possibly music. Me, help teach music, how funny is that? Yet, I´m learning quickly and when it´s something as easy as the recorder, yes, even I can help with it. So, I am waiting to hear about the times that I can go and help out. I am excited for this new door that is opening.

Pray for the kids that they will be able to understand and that they will be comforted. They are who I feel for, not me.
