Today was the last day at Rehoboth Orphanage for most of our team. The daily tasks stayed pretty much the same, with half of our team helping out at the children's school and the other half helping to finish up library work. After our work we were treated to a little taste of America, BASKIN ROBBINS! It was amazing tasting ice cream after almost two weeks with nothing but rice and curry. We wanted to do something special with the girls for the last night so we decided to put on a skit that re-enacted Noah's Ark. They loved watching us make fools of our selves. After worship and the skit our team was given the chance to share with all of the girls about our experiences here at Rehoboth. It was very sad saying our goodbyes to the girls, but we know that we will be forever bonded in Christ. Although it was very difficult saying goodbye we were treated at the end with words of wisdom from Mummy (Sister Phyllis). She presented our team with her testimony and it was AMAZING! One of the many amazing words of wisdom Mummy said was brought up by Mary. Mary asked if Mummy ever got lonely here at the orphanage, or ever felt alone. Mummy responded by saying, "I'm glad that there is no one else here for me to lean on becuase it makes it so I depend all on God and speak with him without any interruption."
