GongYi Home of Hope

This past month we timed our trip to see the Gongyi children at the same time of Paul’s (Yao You Bin) wedding. It was a very beautiful wedding and Paul and his wife Minnie make one beautiful couple. 
在刚刚过去的四月底我们安排去到巩义看望了那里的孩子们同时也参加了巩义希望之家的孩子Paul的婚礼。美丽的婚礼、美丽的新人。

Paul and Minnie, asked for Bob Sayre and Ben to give a speech. This was very fitting as Nathan Bell always had something special to say and was a very gifted speaker. Nathan also encouraged all the Gongyi kids to give speeches during birthdays and other special occasions. So both Bob and Ben were honored to get up and give a blessing and a word of encouragement for the young couple.
Paul和他的新婚妻子邀请Bob Sayre和 Ben上台新婚贺词。这种情景似乎更适合Nathan他有超棒的演讲天赋及总是能讲出一些特别的话语。Nathen也经常鼓励巩义的孩子们在生日聚会上以及特别的场合大胆上台发言。所以Bob和Ben非常荣幸地上台对他们新婚夫妇祝贺及鼓励他们夫妻二人。

After the wedding we headed over to see the Gongyi children at the orphanage. When we got there, the kindergarten children were off school. We got a little extra time to hold and play with them. Above you see Freddie with Ben and I am holding Happy!
婚礼过后我们去到巩义福利院去看望那里的孩子。等我们到那里时，孩子们已经放学了。我们正好有一点点的时间跟他们一起玩耍。上面你可以看Freddie和Ben，我正在抱着Happy!

We only could stay a couple hours, but while we were there, we played pingpong, like you see Ruthie playing in the above picture and Morris and Dawn below…
我们只能在这里待几个小时的时间，但是在这段时间里我们一起玩了乒乓，上图你可以看到Ruthine及下图Morris和Dawn.

Jump rope…

Blew bubbles as you see Aaron doing…

Played with these toy airplanes that are very popular right now. We thought this was a little extra special as Nathan loved building and flying model airplanes…
这些飞机正式现在孩子们流行玩的玩具。这飞机使我们想到Nathen他非常喜欢制作和飞行模型飞机、、、

and just hung out and enjoyed each others company!仅仅享受大家彼此在一起的时光！

We are so grateful that we are allowed to continue speaking life to all the Gongyi children young and old. Gongyi holds a very special place in our hearts. We are also so grateful for the Gongyi orphanage for taking good care of the kids and letting us come once a month to see them. Please keep lifting them up with their studies and with their relationships with each other.
我们非常感恩我们还有机会来看这些孩子们，参与他们的生活。巩义在我们心中又着特殊的地位。我们同时也非常感谢巩义福利院允许我们每个月都可以来往孩子们，也感谢他们把这些孩子们照顾的非常好。请大家继续为他们祈祷使孩子们努力学习也与人有一个美好的相处关系。
