Hola.
This is Anna
Today was a full work day. We stayed at the Nest all day. It was also an extremely clear day!
Today some worked on moving dirt while others painted fences and washed walls white as snow. In the afternoon a group worked on putting up wire stuff so the soccer balls won't go down the mountain... expect we only got one side done, the side where the balls never fly out...Josh M. and Jared S. spent some time entertaining babies and toddlers. Apparently all the kids loved Jared but weren't so sure about Josh... every kid Josh picked up cried. Right before the our worship time tonight the power went out. We witnessed God's beautiful creation in the sky (check out the picture above).
So far this week I have really been in awe of God's beautiful creation... and He has been teaching me to look at it in an all new way. I have also been learning about serving God in all new. Something that has really helped me serve more willingly has been to see everything I do through God's eyes as I serve and thinking about what He would say about my work. Love ya all and thanks for your prayers.
In Christ,
Anna Banana
p.s. !!!!GO CARDINALS!!!!!!
So far this trip has been such an eye opening experience. God is working in so many amazing ways! One thing that God has shown me is how content these people here are. They have so little yet so much in Christ. I pray that God would teach me to be this content. Also, I have really enjoyed loving on all the babies. They are all so beautiful!!! I miss you guys so much! Hope everything back there is going well!! Love ya! GO CUBBIES!! They are the BEST!

Thanks for your report, Anna! Sounds like you're working hard and loving it. We all miss you so much. Haven already asked today, "Where's Anna, is she taking care of babies?" I think of you often and pray. Andrew prays for your safety.
Everyone is working non-stop here on you know what. Hopefully you'll have next week to yourself. Can't wait to hear all of your stories.
Dad and I are both so proud of your willingness to go and serve the Lord through others.

Anna,
I am so glad that you are enjoying your time serving the Lord and serving others. I am so proud of you for overcoming your fears and allowing God to show you something new and precious! I think about you every day and pray for your health and safety while you are there.
Embrace those babies and give them a big hug from me. I pray for each and everyone to be adopted soon to a loving family like beautiful Sarah Gross.
Keep up the good work and keep posting pictures.
I love you,
Aunt Diane
