Thursday

It is hard to believe that it is already Thursday and our time in Bolivia will be over soon.
Today the medical team went to the orphanage to see the girls who live there, some of the staff, and a boy from another home. Most of the girls in the home have lice, so we decided to help Oscar & Loly with this problem. We washed all of the girls´ hair and combed it with the little combs to get the bugs and nits out. While we were working on their hair the girls also had their fingernails and toenails painted. We referred to this as project cinderella. We also were able to get new sheets, pillows, and towels for the home. All of their sheets, pillows, and stuffed animals were all bagged up, so hopefully this will help them with this problem.
The orphanage team sanded walls, painted walls and the front of the building, and put tile on part of the walls. They also sanded and stained some furniture as well as worked on getting a sink done. Both of these teams had lunch with the girls Saying goodbye to the girls was really hard on those who had been at the orphanage all week.
The water well team finished putting the brick flooring in, they also finished the work benches and shelves inside. Some of them went for a walk in the "jungle". They had spaghetti for lunch, which they seemed to really like.
At the end of the day all of those who were at the orphanage went out to Danny´s workshop or what I have been calling the water well, so that everyone could see a demonstration of the well digging process. We then came back to the hotel for devotion time, we had an amazing missionary that the medical team had seen on Wednesday come and speak to the group. I will share his amazing story tomorrow. Then we had dinner at the cuban restaurant that we ate at the other night. We took a group picture at the plaza after dinner. Now we are back at the hotel for the night.
Friday we will be going to a different orphanage, some of the team will play with the children and the medical team will see the children. We will have lunch at Danny & Vanessa´s before going to the waterfalls to swim &/or hike.
