Baby Duty.......

What's up guys and girls!?  It's me, Josh, yet again.  I just got off the phone with Kim again.  She probably won't be able to post much because the internet coverage is so spotty.  She said it's all she can do to get a Facebook post up.   Everybody is still doing well.  Everybody's healthy and good.

Kim and Charli were pulling "baby duty" tonight.  Donna, help me out with this, but what I gathered is that baby duty is when some of the volunteers sleep with the smaller ones to give the nannies a break and let them get a good night's sleep.  Kim just so happened to be sleeping with Steven tonight.  I wonder if that was rigged ;).  When I was talking to her, I could hear him "talking" and just like any other little one, trying to play instead of going to sleep!!  She's loving it! 

Please be in prayer for Kim, Charli, and another girl named Kate as tomorrow they are going into Steven's village, to meet his birth father and minister to him and Steven's other siblings.  Steven's mother died during child birth and due to poor living conditions, Steven's twin brother died shortly thereafter in their village.  Financially, Steven's father couldn't afford take care of him properly so he was brought to Sonrise.  (You can read more of Steven's story here:  http://www.sonrisebabyhome.org/meet-the-babies/steven/)  I'm sure this will be very emotional for everyone involved.

Other than that, she said they just hung around the home today.  They got a chance to get to know the nannies much better.  Kim said they are all so kind, loving, and happy.  Most of the staff live at the home, but have families and children in other villages.  They have come to Sonrise to make money to send back to their families.  One in particular Kim was talking to, said she was had a one year old back home, and she was trying to raise money to go to school, so she could make a better life for her baby.  Oh, the things we take for granted here in America!!!! 

Prayer Points:
-Pray for the ladies ministering to Steven's family tomorrow.
-Pray for those building the beds, that it will continue to go smoothly.
-Pray for Kim as she is leading devotion for the team and nannies tomorrow.
-Pray for continued health, strength, and rest as the week goes on.
-Pray for the nannies at Sonrise, that those who don't know Christ will come to, and those who do will be strengthened and encouraged in their walk.

Thank you to everyone who is praying.  Kim says they feel it over there.  We love you guys!!!!!
