The weather is finally cooling, we are entering the rainy season and it is a welcomed relief! We can now sleep through the night! Only downfall is trying to do laundry and getting clothes to dry, but I'm not complaining.
The other day I went to the school/orphanage where Adrian is volunteering. Every Wednesday the children meet for prayers. The children are all so beautiful. I was so touched by them. I loved watching them as they sang their little hearts out in praise to God. They even danced and played the drums. It was incredible. Music is such a big part of their heritage; it's in their blood. Today we went back to the school to play with the children. We taught them missionary tag and the hokie pokie. They taught us some games with songs and dances. It was so much fun. I'm falling in love with these kids, I wish I could just scoop them all up and take them home with me!
Unfortunately I've seen some sad things at the hospital, particularly when children and infants pass away, but I feel my testimony of the Plan of Salvation growing stronger. I remember my favorite teacher from BYU telling me, "Death is not the enemy, not being prepared is the enemy." -Dr. I. I know that I need not be sad for these little ones, I "know that they are blessed, for they have gone to dwell with their God." (Alma 24:22) I am confident that God has a work for these young people to do and that their talents will be put to good use to build the kingdom of God. It is our task to become prepared, "we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God." (Moroni 9:6) I'm happy to be alive and for the opportunity to prepare myself for that day. Life is good.
