Only a Kid . . .

Sorry it's been awhile, things have been busy here in South Africa. But I wanted to take a moment and share a funny story about one of the kids here. Every week Tre and I get to go with the interns to the local orphanage. It's definitely a highlight of our week. Tre has befriended a young boy named Lunga. Now, Lunga is a rambunctious boy who is everywhere and gets into everything. This particular afternoon, Lunga ran up to Tre with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, similar to a dog, and drool was going everywhere! We couldn't figure out what he was doing. Then, Tre had remembered that earlier a few kids found a bottle of seasoning and of course shook it everywhere, some even landed on a slide. So Tre asked him if he licked the slide. As the boy nodded, Tre and I couldn't help but laugh. Only a kid would be curious enough to actually lick a slide!! Tre took him inside to get a drink, and then he was back to normal; running and playing around. We may never know the difference one afternoon will make in these kids lives. We only pray that our presence will give them a glimpse of the love that God has for them. I would have to say that this orphanage is full of love, as it is set up like a big family. The kids are very happy and enjoy hanging out with each other.
