These pictures are of when we got to the school in Mirowa. I remember getting out and being surrounded by kids wanting to know your name, touching your skin and hair, and being totally excited that you were there. They fought over holding your hand, they wanted to talk to you, and just touch you. It was an amazing experience.

Breakfast at the school in Mirowa!!!

On Sunday, our team split up into groups and went to church! Our church was very small and my dad, Sharo, and I had to preach a sermon while the translator translated it. Then we listened to a sermon from the preacher. After church, the pastor and his friends invited us to stay and have some soda! It was cold and I wondered how they kept it so cold!

While we were in Mirowa, we visited sponsor children and I got the chance to meet mine! His name is Mepurda. I remember when we got there and saw him, that he was overwhelmed with all of the gifts that we gave him. I still pray for him each and every day.
