I got my basketball jones!

Today was a fun day under the sun. Riding on top of the jeepney was a blast, especially on the ride home from the boys orphanage where Andrew and I got to ride on the back! Totally sweet! As I said we visited the boys orphanage and it was interesting to see that when I pulled out the guitar I had all the kids attention very quickly. After playing three of our "worship friendly songs!" with hand motions Captain adn I went outsiede with some of the older guys and played some street ball. It was a killer time, even though after a half an hour of hard knocks we decided to call it because we were exhausted. Playing some basketball in the prison was amazing too. I liked how those kids played, and you would think they would p[lay a bit rougher, but not so! Now I can say I've played basketball in a prison in Mexico and the Phillipines. Pretty cool huh? God has really been blessing me with open eyes and a compassionate heart because when I was praying in the dump today my heart was yearning to not become numb to these children and it's so easy to. It's also so hard to say goodbye...anywhere I go. Life is great and God is still on the throne.

In Love,
Zai
