Wow! What a day. Such sweet girls! Christine. Cinthia. Julian. Caren. Caroline. Maureen. Mam. Mami. Nayit. Feny and Linett. Michel. Please give them a hope and a future, Lord. Give them a way up out of poverty. Protect them, guide them, love them.
Thank you for today. A bit difficult, but I learned that I don't always have to DO or ACHIEVE. Sitting there doing nothing with those girls today and just talking. THAT is what You wanted me to do - so it was done. It was enough. Maybe more than enough. My skills are not what You necessarily need - nor even want. And it may not be what they appreciate the most...
Help me to be an empty vessel - available for any use - without agenda, without preference, without demands. Fill me with Your love that I might pour it out on the children of Obunga.
So many things to record... 
- Feny carring her little sister, Linett (almost as big as her).
- Mam's big eyes.
- Cinthia being the table for the other girls to write on.
- The girls teaching me Luo.
- The little cherubs all around us.
- The big guys with their heavy stories and their hopeful hearts.
Be with them all - today and always. Help our short days here bring good and change and love. Thank you for letting me be a part of Your plan here. Thank you for letting me come.
