Visit to Casa Hogar finally!

We are staying in a great hotel and sleeping pretty good on a hard bed! Went to a place called Sandy's for breakfast. Had breakfast enchiladas with shredded chicken, some type of green sauce and shredded cheese then a cup of cantaloupe. Totally full and then went to the home. Met Muriel and Sylvia and most of the kids. Muriel and Sylvia gave us a tour of the home with Muriel translating. The boys and girls have separate sleeping quarters. ThEy have one big room where they eat, play and worship. After the tour we all sat down at the tables in the main room and decided what we were going to do this week. Marshall suggested we ask them what they really needed and both ladies said their washing machines were on their last legs. It was decided to buy 2 new machines. Both ladies were blown away so Sheryl, Stephen, Ben, and the ladies went to Ttown and bought 3 machines, one of which is a green machine. While they were gone, the rest of us washed all the white chairs, tables, and cleaned the bookshelves. The kids ate lunch and and then Ben, Marshall, and Chris put up the volleyball net in the field next to the home for tomorrow. We had a super time with the kids decorating pillowcases we are going to take back to our Club Mad kids at church. The kids in Club Mad painted pillowcases for the kids here. The kids here are a joy to be with - they are so well mannered and really love and take care of each other. They all have chores and keep there rooms picked up and clean. Hope you are enjoying following us on our trip. Thanks for all your prayers.
