The new baby David spent his first night at the orphanage on Wednesday night sleeping in a twin bed with Jackie and her baby girl, Hannah. When we drove up at dusk on Wednesday night, the children from the orphanage all came running to see him, hold him, and love him. He won’t lack for […]

The Blessing of a New Vehicle!
