It was so much fun! The day was a huge blessing for each one of us on the team as well as each child. Seeing the excited faces at the orphanage when the animals arrived was beautiful, and the entire day was filled with so much love and joy. We played with the kids all day, and went to eve Tue, 14 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://angelsevigny.myadventures.org/?filename=christmas-party http://angelsevigny.myadventures.org/?filename=christmas-party   I wanted to follow-up with this email that I sent out a couple of weeks ago. We have had some praise reports for the Christmas Party scheduled on December 5th. We have had many people buy book bags for each orphan. As I write this a group of ladies are stiching their individual names on each bag. God is faithful and "personal". Please continue your prayers and we raise the funds for the orphanage.
