Benito

It was such a sweet day today at the orphanage. The kids and I surprised Benito with a birthday cake! Benito is the care giver for the boys at the orphanage. He takes care of 40 boys, one with a disability with no function, cooks all meals, cleans, etc... He seriously is my hero. I have never met a person that pours out so much and loves like Christ, not just by words but by actions. When we brought him the cake he said this was his first present he has ever received in many years... It truly was a special day to celebrate and let him know how appreciated he is. Happy birthday Benito!

New Tires for the Orphanage!

As we headed down to Mexico to get new tires for the van at the orphanage, we really did not know what the day had in store. When we arrived to the orphanage, we were told that the van that needed tires was parked at the kids school, so we needed to drive down and pick it up. About an hour later we headed down, but to our surprise we were not just picking up the van, but a van full of 25 kids! 3rd world county miscommunication, my favorite! 

When we arrived to the tire shop we were told it would only take an hour, but what they actually meant was 4hrs. I was stuck there with 25 hungry children, so my friend and I had to find a way to feed them all. We ended up walking to a grocery store and bought enough to make them all sandwiches... They were super excited for them too! Especially to have meat which is a treat for them. 

As the hours went by the kids were restless so we decided to take lost of selfies! Haha... Even through all the trouble it was such a sweet day to spend with these kiddos, and to get to know each one individually. They are some of the sweetest,  most loving kids I know, and I would do this again in a heartbeat.

I am incredibly blessed to be working beside Unity 4 Orphans​ who is making an impact and difference in these kids lives. Not only do they meet their needs physically but most importantly LOVE these kids. I am seeing lives transformed each day through this organization dedication and hard work.
