Final Orphanage Visit

As we get closer to leaving Liberia we enter the 'Lastimever' zone. You know how it used to be in school holidays?Last Time I'll ever do this before, last time I'll ever do that before......

Well Saturday was the 'last time we'll ever' visit the Center for the Aged Orphaned and abandoned children Liberia Corp. as a family. There were tears and laughter, prayers and many many thank you's - from us and them. We prayed with every child in the center, then prayed over their leaders, and then they all prayed for us.

During the previous weeks visit each child had decorated and written their name on a paper bag. These were then collected back in and through the week Brenda (helped by Anne and others) filled the bags with sweets and little gifts. So on Saturday the bags were handed back out and all 64 children, regardless of age got a bag full of goodies. I don't hink I've ever seen so many big smiles!

It isn't quite farewell yet though as we are bringing around 30 of the younger children to the ship next Saturday for a farewell party here. The older children came last year so this time the under 11's can come. I'll stick some photos on of that next week.
