breakfast for 30 growing boys...

We made breakfast today for our boys downstairs. Wow, what an operation. Potatoes being cooked on the huge stove top in the boys home area. Eggs beating, bread dipping, pan frying on our small stove in our flat. It was truly a team effort, whether it was cooking or couriering, or buying more supplies. The boys seemed to really enjoy the French toast and syrup and the potatoes. I think they were stuffed… as were we.

Afterwards, we played some volleyball, cricket, soccer, phase 10 and stuff with the boys. The rain was coming down hard and the rest of the team was smart enough to play card games and do art stuff with the kids, but i, on the other hand, stayed out in the pouring rain, probably full of acid and other gunk as it stung my eyes.. and continued playing... one of the older boys wanted some goalkeeper training which I of course was more than happy to do! Twas fun, except for the rain that burned into my eyeballs.  amazing kid... great athlete!

Wandered to New Market in the PM… picked up a cake to surprise the warden at the home whom we have come to love.  He doesn't speak much English but he has this great smile and laugh...  as does his lovely wife.  we found out his birthday was today so we picked up a cake and surprised  him and the boys.  such a sweet time with them.  someone mentioned it was the first birthday cake he's had.  i don't think birthdays are celebrated like we do back in the states... the boys were all so excited, clapping for him, and just celebrating him.

after some hanging, we headed back up to our flat and had a nice time of sharing and praying together.  I love our team.
