Today is our last day at the orphanage. I’m excited about being with my family again and squeezing all of my kiddos. I will miss all of the new friends here and have a desire to see the Ministry House completed. Even in knowing that another group will come and pick up where we left […]
Here’s our group picture for this year with teams assembled from SD, OH, CO, and IA. What a hard working group for a great bunch of kids. There is something special about this place.
