Swimming but also Pooping babies at the pool!

Today I met one of the greatest couples I have ever met or even heard about in my life. Richard and Freda Robinson, also known as Sister Freda run a hospital on their 26 acres of land. That is not all they do on that massive amount of land. They operate a school for orphans up to the age of 2 to 11. They also have about 8 children around the age of 3 or 4 that live with them. Richard grows multiple crops that range from pineapples to coffee. They have cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys and an abundance of cats and dogs. They can fully survive off of their land. They are the most loving, caring, giving, serving, nice, polite couple I have ever met. They truly show the face of Jesus with their love for these children. Sister Freda is an amazing woman. She was always trying to serve us or give us something and just trying to make our visit relaxing. I felt like she should have been the one sitting down and me serving her. She does this work, caring for the children, providing medical needs for them everyday and her she is serving me also. What an awesome lady I kept telling myself. I am only here for 3 months, not doing nearly as much as she does throughout the day. I cant imagin doing it for my whole life. I am still so caught up in my life at home and I am not even there. I know that God is going to teach me something through this but I just want to be taught now! I guess I will pray for patience and understanding. Richard and Sister Freda have surrendered all of them for the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. I hope to God that one day I can be like them.

When we arrived the kids were so stoked to see us. Chris and the girls have been going there since they had arrived in July. They have gotten to know most of the kids and the kids are in love with them. I hope that by the time I leave that I will know the children at Sister Freda’s like they do. We were there to take the 8 babies that live with them to the pool. It was hilarious to watch these kids in the baby pool. They loved to jump off the edge into areas where their feet came nowhere close to the bottom of the pool. They were the happiest little kids I have met. Just a simple activity as going to the pool put the biggest smile on their faces. It reminded me that life does not have to be packed with such big or expensive activities. The simple life brings just as much if not more joy in our lives. These 8 kids will live at Sister Freda’s house until they are old enough to go out alone. I will look forward to going back there. After we swam in the pool for a while we at french fries, or chips as they call it here. Again these kids were so stoked. I mean, who wouldn’t? A plate full or fries at the age of 3? I mean come on. That’s heaven if you are that age. What the heck, its heaven for me and I’m 23 years old. Don’t laugh at me. Fries are my most favorite food in the world. Just ask Sarah. I miss her. I mean….. just ask her she will know.

Look at this little girl name dotty, she seriously weighed about 10 pounds. So tiny. She fell asleep in my arms on the way to the pool. It was precious.




Here are the kids that go to school and that live and Sister Freda’s…
