Jesus loves the little children

This afternoon we visited Paan Dek Kan Pra Orphanage. The kids were SOO precious, we were so sad to leave! The little girl in the first and last picture is Sunni, and she loved playing with my camera and taking pictures. She was a bit shy until I sat down and held out my hands for her to high-five. She sat in my lap and kept taking my hands and putting them over her eyes. It took me a few minutes to find out what she was doing- we were playing peek-a-boo! At least I think we were. The kids were so cute, they'd grab my hands and wrap them around themselves. It kinda broke my heart a little bit.

Thai kids love to sing and play games. We sang some Children's Worship (haha Ryan) songs in Thai, I didn't know all of the Thai words, but I could do the hand motions to "My God is so Big" and "This little light of mine". One little boy was so funny, he really got into it. We brought butcher paper and the kids traced each other and drew pictures and wrote words of what God meant to them on it. We enjoyed coloring with the kids and helping control the marker fights. We played a lot of games, one of them was kind of like duck duck goose, except we all held hands and a team would tag a pair, and they'd run in the opposite direction to make it back. I felt so bad for the little girl with me- I'm such a slow runner! I think we ran around at least 2 or 3 rounds before we beat anyone back to a spot. In the picture above we are playing a pass the ball game against 3 teams. It kinda got hard when it was over the head....because I'm about two feet taller than the kids around me....hahahaa. Before we left we passed out goodie bags with toothbrushes, soap, and a package of cookies, and gave lots of hugs and "God bless you"'s (the Thai children understood). It was really hard to leave, the Thai kids were so sweet and hungry for affection.

I could go on, but our group is about to leave for the evening.
