Vegas Baby!

Whose idea was it anyway to send 26 African children to Las Vegas...commonly called Sin City? It's been an adventure I must say, and I have enjoyed watching the children and answering their questions. We chatted with the kids soon after arriving about the things they might see in Vegas and the importance of being careful what they look at and shining brightly for Jesus in this "dark" city. Last night as we drove down the strip I was quite proud of the kids. The boys covered their eyes when inappropriate billboards and such came into view. Precious Alice made me smile when she cried. "Mugamba, guard your heart..you are looking at bad pictures!" Lynette immediatly lifted her hands and prayed, "Lord Jesus Savior take these bad pictures away and make this no longer Sin City." It's difficult to explain to the children what happens in Vegas, but I think they grasped what they needed to :). Needless to say, we did not explore the strip with the children, but they did spend a great deal of time in the pool teaching the children to swim. The crowd at the Bellagio was quite impressed with the kids and they had a lot of fun singing (as well as watching the dancing water fountains!). Well, David needs the computer so I must jet for now. We headed back to North Carolina in just a few hours....
