Day 1

  Plane flight wasn't too bad! We all got our luggage too, which is always a bonus. The layovers weren't that long either, which always helps. 

This is our first day working at the orphanage. I think we can all say that it is teaching us to be humble in a completely different way than we have experienced before. The kids we are working with today have cerebral palsy, and I wish I could lend my eyes and ears to you to let you experience this as well. Most children here have so much joy, and they totally have a piece of our hearts already. We have been playing with the kids as well as feeding them, which is more difficult then one would think. I was feeding this one kid today, and another knocked the bowl over, and the food spilt all over my legs....not to mention getting peed on! It gets to the point to where we all have something spilt on ourselves and are gross from the humidity, so we just have to laugh it off. 

    Tomorrow we will be spilt up in small groups, and go in different rooms which we will have for the rest of the week. We have been given 3 rooms here, and there are about 4 of us in each.e Each room has its own bathroom and mini fridge, so we can keep drinks cold....It is so humid here that I know we would all be in trouble if we didn't have one!

    As for the food, I can say that it is very interesting....but for the most part we love it! We have had Pho noodle soup, weird pork/chicken sandwiches, boba, meat rice buns with quail eggs.

Ok I know there is a bunch more I could write about, but that is it for now!
