Day 1

It is the end of the first day, and I cannot thank God enough for giving me all that I have. Hearing the orphans stories and putting them to their faces was amazing. It was a feeling I won't forget. It reminds me that every frustration or hurt I have ever been through is nothing compared to what these kids have gone through and most of them aren't even 10 yet. 

I remember why I had the drive to come back after my experience last year. I fell in love all over again. With the people, the scenery, everything. I almost feel like I never even left. Everything is pure happiness here and I adore it. God is so good. 

Being able to have both my parents here is awesome. I love being able to look at my mom and see her soak it all in. 

After reading a prayer partner letter this morning I'm taking her advice and soaking everything in. Looking at the people and remembering their smiles, or staring at how beautiful the mountains are.

I am forever grateful for the opportunity to come here because it truly has changed my life and I am so thankful for the people who have made this a reality for me. 

Thank you all again ❤️
