Just like all the time when we arrived on this island, the weather was perfect. Because I wanted to save on Reiner’s energy, I refused his offer to fly us over and had a pilot do the work instead. It was very difficult for me to contain my excitement and I ended up almost running down from the plane when we landed.
The orphanage had changed quite a bit compared to the first time that I was here. The most noticeable change from the outside was that the garden was now much smaller and less elaborately decorated. That was one of the decisions that I made to cut some maintenance cost. To compensate for that, a part of the garden had been remodeled into a library and activities room for the children instead.
