Where are all the Zebras?!?!

Woke up and was out of the house by 7:30 this morning! Thankfully we had a full day with no rain today!
We met up at the highfield church and met up with 4 other mission kids form Oregon and from some people who attend the church who all came out to help us out painting today.
We went out to a place they call "The Farm" which not the kind of farm you're thinking of. This is a huge piece of land that Hands of Hope has, it's 1,000 acres. It's far away from the city and more out in the "country". There are currently 3 dome structures they have built on the land. 2 of them have orphaned children in them, the third one was just built and they will be getting more kids for it shortly. These dome structures were pretty cool, they had a central circular room and it had 4 doorways that lead to 4 bedrooms. They had also bought cattle to raise and be able to sell over time. Sadly we didn't have a lot of time to play with any of the kids, we spend most the day painting all the huts. There was one little boy there who we got to hear about his story.. his name is Lovegood and he was found by a river next to his father's body, who they think had been dead for around 4 days before they found him. He had just been sitting next to his dad's body. Very sad, he is such a sweet boy though, very shy. We spent the whole day there and are now back at home for the day.

Food, shower, and sleep are all that's on my agenda form the rest of the evening.


P.S. the farm was over an hour away and all 30 of us took a van, so we almost felt liek we were on a safari because we were really out there with no building, only little hidden huts in the trees/grass. So we were sad to say that we found no zebras or giraffes on the ride... only a couple of monkeys, which i missed.
