Morning devotional, God provides a snack and just sitting around

 Every morning at 7:30 the kids have singing and devotional time. Today was no different. It's so nice to see them praise God and learn about our Savior each and every morning.

I wish I could wake up and sing every morning with these kids, it's a ton of energy!

Today we worked on the solar panels again. We had given up last week because the squirrels were eating the wires on the partially installed panels. After a quick YouTube search, turns out that wiring in cars and other products are using less oil based products and more environmentally friendly soy based material. This and the fact that squirrel's teeth grow 10 INCHES PER YEAR causes them to need to always be chewing on something. This causes a major problem in several areas of the world. We replaced and taped up the bad wires, then bolted back down the panels. It was a few hours of work in 90º sun, on the roof to boot. That was definitely the most challenging part of my day. The overhanging trees have been cut down, so we hope the problem won't continue (at roughly $250 per panel and there are over 30, this could get real expensive, real fast).

During one of our breaks, of course I got the very long pole and pulled some Guamuchil down from the tree. It's a great snack that God provides for free.

When we got back to the orphanage there was a lot of sitting around on the benches in the courtyard. We do that a lot and I love it. Just sitting around, speaking and laughing with the kids.
