Perfect weather! That is the best way to describe what it is like here. The past couple of days it has been in the 80’s with a nice constant breeze. I would definitely say the highlight of my day was lying in the hammock at the mission underneath a massive shade tree.
Well I started out the day by going to the House of Moses orphanage with Stephanie, Dorothy, Jane, and Paige (Jane’s daughter). We had a great time holding the babies and playing with them. And as usual, we all had at least two babies per lap.

After lunch the kids from another orphanage came over, the Tasche House. While they were here we watched a couple of movies (a bug’s life and ice age), ate cookies, played outside, and blew bubbles. While they were here, I made icing for a carrot cake Stephanie had made. When I finished frosting the cake, Chisomo walked into the kitchen. She is a cute little active four year old. I gave her the bowl, spoon, and beaters to lick. It was quite amusing to watch her. From the way she was accomplishing the task it seems that she has had experience in this area. Later, Stephanie came into the kitchen and attempted to get a few licks herself. Chisomo refused to share with her. But she did however agree to share the icing with Chikulu.
