We finished our work for the day on the outskirts of town visiting a home for children with disabilities, called Open House. The Lord was certainly at work during our time here as well. I believe we all were stretched as we interacted with the children. We had the opportunity to help feed them candy, sing with them, play with them, and pray for them. Abby connected with Mary Anna, one of the younger children in the home. Marshall and Katherine were able to pray and sit with Mena, a young boy whose senses and muscle abilities are slowly depleting; and despite his blindness and nearly being deaf, he reponded greatly to touch with many smiles, clapping, and hugs. Hallie also made special friends with a young girl who kissed both of her hands as she left. It was a joyous and moving time for all as we were able to share Jesus' love with these precious children. After leaving the home, we finished the evening with a Chinese dinner, and then headed back to rest up for the big days we have following.

We love you and it means so much to see these pictures, especially of y'all with the children! We are praying that you enjoy a great sense of being right where He wants you to be, doing exactly what He wants to be doing through you! Much love from the Hitchings
