Overjoyed
Dave Schmidgall
Nov 12, 2008 · 2:11 PMOn Monday morning the team woke up and had breakfast, then traveled back to MOLIMA to share gifts with the children. There were eight HUGE suitcases full of all sorts of supplies, clothing, and games that were brought and were delighted to begin unpacking them. They met the kids and sang songs with them. Colleen also had a chance, through Isaac’s interpretation, to thank them for having the team and to share a message of Christ’s love.
Then the fun began!
They gave each child a new backpack, sweatshirt, pen, and pencil. They were overjoyed! Ponchos were provided for every kid, as they must sometimes walk to work during the torrential rainy season, which will begin just a few weeks after leaving. Then came the volleyball, football, baseballs, a badminton set, and about a dozen frisbees. The entire grounds of the orphanage then became a giant playing field for many different sports.
The weight of the smiles and joy was overwhelming.
