We all slept good last night.
What a relief to finally see the girls in person. So they could know we Really were coming.
You know there are six beds in the room where they sleep. It is the same size as Ashley's room at home. There is one dresser and no closet. One dresser, six girls. The room is absolutely neat, nothing on the floor, some Hana Montana posters on the wall. The beds are small like army cots. One girl has a home made frame for a photo of her and a friend and there are some stuffed animals. Thats all.
We talked, I showed them pictures of where they will be living with us. The house, the living room, their room, I pointed to a bed in their rooms picture and then two a second bed and hand motioned; you sleep here, then to the sister, you sleep here. Heads shake Yes-Yes as eyes close and tears squeeze out. Big smiles. All our faces hurt from smileing.
Today we learn how to ride the busses. We can take two busses for 25 kil. and be at the orphanage. It is eight miles out of town on a long road with farm fields behind the single deep line of small houses. Closest store the size of a news stand 1/2 mile. Nearest dad and mom? well that would be Susan and Me.
