Charly, Reimy, and Griseli happy as can be! |
Anyways, each day I usually take around 3 conchos to get to the community I'm working with. Let's just say I took 9 conchos in all and was determined to see my sweet/insane/giggly children. When I got there, without a moment to spare the laughing and loving began. Climbing trees, climbing hills, climbing piles of trash, and having a good ole time. Luckily I had a few Dominican friends from the community with me, and they were able to cook for the kids who wouldn't have eaten until dinner. I was able to tell Griseli why I do things like this and why I came here. I kept it simple and short just saying that whenever I accepted Christ in my heart I was filled with so much joy and love and I want so bad for others to know that as well.
I realize that God might have put my entire life back home on hold and called me to this trip and made it possible solely for this family. I am doing good things with the others but this is where my heart pulls me. They are the only thing I think about all day and I want so bad for them to know that they are loved. How am I going to leave them? I don't know yet, but until then I want to plan something special for these kids. I don't know what that looks like yet, but I ask for prayers on how to go about it and that God will just use me to bring his light into these children. T-minus 10 days until home, lots of work to do, so little time!
