December 5th

Today we did another service project all day. We went back to the church/orphanage/radio station from the 30^th that was grassy with a great view of a lake. We planted (by hand) sod. It was CRAZY! It was like, one by one stems of grass put into the ground. That is what we did almost the whole day. From like…9:30 to 4:30. Afterwards, we played soccer with the kids at the orphanage and some of the kids from around the neighborhood. Everyone had a bunch of fun with the kids. Nate pulled out the zip-line, and a few of the kids got up on that with help of course. Even I jumped on for a few minutes and couldn’t stop smiling/laughing. Nate says the funniest things when you are supposed to concentrate or not be silly. Also, today was Whit’s birthday. A group of us went into his room and sang happy birthday to him, and it was SO fun. Because it was his birthday, we went to Pizza Hut and had pepperoni and cheese pizza…and Tammany and Gabriele bought Neapolitan ice cream for desert. EVERYONE was stuffed. Cisco gave our devo tonight and we then got to go to bed early. Everyone was happy to get to bed early.
