Picture of the Week-1

Well, I've decided to try something new called Picture of the Week. This weekend I was trying to organize some of my old pictures and I kept coming across different ones that I would love to share. Usually I use this blog to post photos and write up a little tid bit on things that have happened.... however with busy season upon me, I'm not quite sure how much exciting stuff I will have going on to blog about.. so this will give me a little something to do. Hopefully I will remember to actually follow through with it. We'll see...

So for my 1st Picture of the Week....

I have been blessed to be able to go to the Village of Hope in Ghana, Africa twice and I pray that someday I will be able to return. The Village of Hope is an orphanage sponsored by the churches of Christ. At the orphanage there are homes, a clinic, a church, a school, and much more. There really are so many good works that are started from the VOH. We were able to participate in quite a few things on our trips there. We taught in the school, conducted a VBS at a nearby village (the orphanage kids helped us organize and put on skits), conducted a clinic in a nearby village, visited the streets program in the city of Accra, and of course, our favorite, spent quality time playing with, tutoring, and learning more about the kids at the VOH. I really do love those kids...

and of course, since I pretty much stink at narrowing down pictures, here's a clip of a few more pictures that I love.
