A new blog for kim. LOL> : )

okay so.. we aparantly have been named the mission team with the most internet usage that has come up here lol. today we got up, ate a huge awesome breakfast and headed back up into the mountains at over 10,000 ft. above sea level. Once in Matara we picked up our food we purchased yesturday and began delivering it to the different families. To our surprise (me, mr.lorch,ms.lorch, and erin) we had to walk almost a mile up one mountain, passed a cemetary and almost fell off what seemed to be the side of the earth trying to make it to one of the houses. Needless to say we're in horrible shape. It's almost incomprehendable that all those people walk from there to Matara to the market and to school almost everyday (many with kids strapped to their back). At one house there was a 95 year old women stuck on the ground where she was trying to pick fire wood off a tree and could not get up. We helped her into her house and gathered more firewood for her. She was about 4 ft. tall and had no shoes. Later we delivered to a man and woman a food sack and they were so grateful they gave us two baggies of these cookie type looking things although they probably had nothing else but what we had just given them. That was pretty awesome. At VBS me and ms.lorch and ashley were still head of the arts and crafts and we made necklaces today. It's entirely way too hilarious to see us try and communicate with these kids and they just laugh and laugh at our "gringo" talk. There was also a boy probable about 6 or 7 that was in what was made to be a wheel chair. It seemed as if he had cerebral paulsey but im not sure. It made me thankful that Jordan has the things he needs to be healthy and happy. Well the day ended with the always amazing food and dessert. Tomorrow will be our first day at the orphanage and we're serving them a massive chicken dinner. There's two premature babies that only weigh 3 pounds. But it should be quite the experience and we're all pretty stoked! See you guys wednesday! asta louago!
