Visit to the Orphanage

December 30th in the morning, we made a visit to the orphange that two members of the church in the 8th branch manage. Bonteavy is the main owner and she is assisted by the sister reading a book with Scott. I bad at names, sorry. Holly's family had given money for their Christmas and also Taylor's Family, (Kali's husband) had given money. We went to some book stores and bought books, paper, pencils, pens, and also Holly had gone to Deseret Book and bought book marks, CTR rings, and some very nice books of Christ. Also Benjamin and Holly and Polly had collected clothes and gave them. Anything left over was given as cash. We received a very sweet letter from Bonteavy thanking them for their good works and the needed cash. We saw Bonteavy and the other sister in the Central Market the kids last day here and they were buying some new clothes for the children. We were so happy to see that they were putting the money to good use.

Scott has an application on his Ipad of the Primary songs with pictures. The children had sung for us I Love to See the Temple, Child of God and Heavenly Father Prayer(can't remember the name of that particular song.). So he showed them I Love to See the Temple with children singing it and the pictures of temples. They were very polite listening. They were getting ready to go to school and eat lunch, so they were very patient with us. We told them all to please eat lunch while we finished our visit. Which they very willingly did. As we were leaving the older high school kids came.

They all always give the visitors a hug and follow us and wave as we leave. So, so sweet and cute. This sister, the co-runner of the orphanage with Bonthveay adopted this little fellow when he was just a baby. All the children consider him like a little brother. There are about 32 children that live here. So, he has a big family. These are wonderful ladies and their staff is just as warm and loving to the children. They get very good care here. This is always a highlight to visit these beautiful women and children. A couple of very short videos highlighting the children singing the song that I can't remember the name of!
