Today was a very productive day. We were up and moving at 6:00 AM. We started the day with breakfast and a devotion led by Josh. We began our work around 8:00 AM.

Sunday morning began with worship in our church within the compound. Corey, Tiffany, and Chassidy had worked with Herby and some of the children, to sing a song during the service. They did an excellent job. Herby at least shared the verse that the pastor preached on, with those sitting near him. Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of them. I kept Leonel occupied by feeding him Fruit Loops. The...
