We went to the safe house and got a tour. It is really cool how the safe house helps the families of the girls there to make a living. We were able to share devotions with the staff at the house. Then we had a tour of a salon and went to a small market and back to the hotel before lunch. After lunch we went to the hotel for a brief meeting, then back to the salon to get measured for skirts. I also got my hair washed, dried and straightened there. It was awesome there! They wash hair so differently than us.... they put shampoo in your hair and put a little bit of water on it with a bottle... interesting i thought.
Than we went to the safe house for play time with the girls. We had devotions on David and Goliath with was a hit! We played a little more with the girls. I had a girl come up to me and put her arm next to mine and say "which do you like better?" (meaning white or brown skin). I pointed to hers. She pointed to mine and said " you are beautiful". I replied... "you are beautiful... and God made you beautiful like you are for a reason and me for a reason too". Amazing... we are not even taught as children that there are different skin colors. For some reason American white people are always trying to get tan... when brown skinned people try to be white. We are never happy with what we have.
We went to dinner tonight at a place called Gecco. I was able to order an Italian panini. I was so happy! It was tasty too!
So... update... Amazing things have happened with Nick while I am gone!
1. He is going to get baptized when I get back!!!
2. He had a job interview and they offered him a co-op... PRAY!
3. He has grown so much while I am gone and I am so proud of him!
4. I am jealous because he had a steak dinner with my mom and dad yesterday....
