Happy birthday to Rachael!

Today was Day 2 of the team's stay, AND it was Rachael's birthday! Happy birthday to Rachael!

Rachael walking into her "surprise party." Amiee totally had her blindfolded beforehand.

At the beginning of the day we sang for Rachael, had cupcakes, and had a time of prayer/blessing over her. We also spent time this morning preparing fliers for our two soccer camp locations this week. After lunch, we hit one of the neighborhoods and posted/handed out fliers and prayed over the soccer field. Following that, we totally did the touristy things around town: monastery, exchanging money, souvenir shops, monuments, pictures...you know. The Rowland/Kayla/Mindy clan joined us for our activities, which greatly added to the fun! Here's some documentation of said adventure:

Everybody working on fliers. See all those suitcases? That's just a fraction of all the donations that were sent for the camps!

See, we're all veterans of the touristy stuff, so we hung back and took pictures of ourselves: Page, Felesha, me, Amiee, Pam.
