WOW! WOW! WOW!
What more can be said about today? We started our day with sleeping in a bit. Randy and I calling for a taxi, going to the grocery store, buying groceries with NO interpreter, and making it back safely! We had a blast venturing out on our own and proving that we can do it ourselves. Will help when we come back!!! Our taxi driver was even impressed that I pronounced his name correct and pronounced the grocery store correct (can't spell it though!).
At noon we took off for Dayspring to begin the BIG festivities!!! Earlier in the day John Wright arrived at Dayspring to set up the Foochet (BIG TABLE of food) which is traditional Kyrgy. It was amazing - John did a wonderful job!!!!
When we arrived we finished set-up and then just waited. We had young girls come and dress in traditional Kyrgy outfits to hand out roses to each woman who arrived and greet the guests.
Our guest of honors (just to name a few) were the Minister of Labor and Social Protection, Mayor of Tokmok, Vice Mayor of Tokmok, and many others! We had around 60 guests at Dayspring from ALL over the world! LAMb did an amazing job - the whole team - mom & Lynn, Schooler's & Wrights! WOW! The favor of God radiated throughout the event!!!!
Today was an amazing day! Such favor shown to LAMb and all of the work they have done to get to this point.
We ended our day at the Wright's home being served cheese/garlic bread, salad & amazing lasagna! What a great way for the team to just relax after all of the hard work getting ready for today!
Tomorrow - Baby orphanage then off to Bishkek for some sight seeing and traditional Kyrgy food.
Blessings & thanks for following along! What a ride this has been and looking for more yet to come!
