June 10th

Today we went to Bill's sponsored family, this was an amazing experience. We drove for about 3.5 hours to a remote village, where most of the children had never seen a white person before. Need less to say we chase away every little child. The women that Bill sponsor's was a truly inspiring lady. She was clinically dead for a hour, and when they were about to barying her, she coughed. She has lost alot of her hearing and sight because of the trauma, so her young son interpreted her for us. After Bill's gave them gifts, the entire village gave us a speech in appreciation for our support and travels. This was followed by a song and gift presentation to use, which included; sugar cane, eggs, a roster, and pineapple. This was amazing because these people have nothing, but they are willing to give up all they have to give us appreication, this is truly humbling. After that we drove home, this took about 9 hours, not joking. Tommorrow we have a free day, and we are going to go to the black market.
