On Saturday (Sept. 16) we travelled to a nearby orphanage called Village of Peace with about 13 members of our student service group at TCIS, the Key Club. We spent the entire afternoon playing with children outside the orphanage and at a nearby school playground: kicking soccer balls around; playing Duck, Duck, Goose; and sharing time. We learned there are about 90 children who live at the orphanage and that, generally, conditions at Korean orphanages aren't very good. So it was a blessing to be able to hang out for the afternoon, hopefully giving the kids a pleasant change of pace and a diversion from their regular routine. I pray they will somehow see the love of Christ in the time we spent with them, and we look forward to returning in one month's time. Brian and I spent extra time tucking in our girls on Saturday night, reminded of the amazing gift our family is to us.
