orphan care pictures

We've been quiet for quite some time, seem to have fallen off the radar with our last blog a month and a half ago. Sorry. Maybe no one is following our blog at all anymore these days because there hasn't been anything new (but statcounter tells me otherwise, there's still quite a bit of traffic), but it's time for a little update and some pictures at least.

So what's new? Well, first off, if you have not heard yet, Alex broke her ankle/leg just a couple of days after our last post. Pretty badly too. Needed surgery, acquired some steel hardware, in a cast and on crutches for six weeks, not to mention having to set her leg on the spot in the back of a car. We'll write more about that in our next newsletter. So other that fiasco, we've been keeping busy with various projects. For the last two weeks, we've had our friends from our home church visiting with us (see post below). We've been doing ministry at several orphan care centers with them, which has been a tremendous blessing to the children and their communities, as well as for Darlene and Sydney. You can read more about their time here on their blog though, so you get their experiences first hand.

Here are a bunch of pictures (83 of them) of their ministry with the orphans and other vulnerable children.

Hopefully we'll get a newsletter with more substance out one of these days soon so you can read about the other excitement we've been part of here...
