EXCITED

I am so excited about going to Honduras during Spring Break. I miss alot of things about Honduras. I miss building houses for people and hearing them praise God because he has truely blessed them. I miss driving crazy on the Honduran roads. I even miss that nasty diesel smell in the air. I miss hearing people praise God in spanish. I miss trying to communicate my broken spanish with friends. What I miss most of all is my kids.

I miss all those beautiful smiling faces at the childrens home. Yes, I know that these are not really my kids but I love them like they are. This has not always been the case. Last summer when I went to the childrens home for my internship my attitude was totally different. I thought I could not love them in that way becasue they were not my kids. I was sure wrong as the summer went on I fell in love with their kindness and innocence. All these kids have been through so much and they found it in their heart to love us. This blew my mind. So this is why I love them so much. I cant wait to give them all a hug and love on them. I pray for them all the time. I pray that every time I see them they see the love of Christ. I hope these kids grow into beautiful christians. This is my hope for them. I am so excited to see them. These kids are what makes Honduras so special. That is why my passion is to help these kids and much more just like them.

In Christ's Love
