Alabama August 2011: Day 1

Welcome to Alabama and the Adullam House!

We finally landed safely at the Montgomery Airport. Josh, Keila and Enrique were already there waiting for us. Most of the team loaded into Josh’s truck which was attached to the luggage car. The rest joined Enrique and Keila in the Tahoe. We head to downtown Montgomery and visited the Martin Luther King Church and some other parts of the town. It was about almost 12pm when everyone was starving. Our team leader Sanjay had told us a couple days before departure that Josh would be taking us for the best Southern Food (Soul Food) ever. Cannot wait! We got to the stated restaurant and…wow….wow the food was very delicious. It was one of the best places I’ve ever tried. I was eating my meal as Jenny, Zuleika, and Lilian were talking. I couldn’t hear what they were discussing because I was enjoying my food so much.

Now, Adullam House here we come! As we entered the gate of Adullam House, we could feel it ..sense it..know it…that this is a real place for kids, sort of like a Disneyland for them. There is a huge area covered by trees, flowers, bare land, plus donkeys, goats, chickens etc. This place is so lively. There is a long bride connecting The Babies House, The Spackman Family’s House, and the New Building where we are working on now. The bridge was a gift from Bethel Church in Lousiana. Thank Jesus :)

We walked into the Babies House and became speechless, our eyes just staring at the heavenly babies all over the place. It feels like we’re in the Eden Garden with all different ages of babies around you. It presents an amazing atmosphere that is very difficult to describe. Only God knows, and you can only imagine.
