Wow. I can't believe it's been 2 months since I last posted. I have been writing, but mostly with pen and paper. Yes, taking it old school. Eventually I will get around to typing that stuff up.
I am leaving the country tomorrow. I'll be traveling to one of my second homes, an orphanage in Mexico. I think this will be my 7th trip there. I think I may have lost count though. A friend of mine describes the place as "the closest place to Heaven on earth" and I have to agree with her.
I have made some great friendships with some of there people there. It's always great to get a chance to go see old friends you don't get to spend time with that often. There's one kid there that I have literally watched grow up. It's amazing when you can get a chance to see a life take shape before your very eyes.
It's always fun trying to speak Spanish with the children there. I'm not that good at it. But I am happy to report that I can finally roll my r's. I found this out while driving home the other night from class. I can't wait to show off my r rolling skills to the teen girls at the orphanage. They think my Spanish is so bad that last year they gave me their Spanish/English translation book. Apparently, I needed it worse than they did.
I am very thankful for the many relationships I have formed with the people there. We are seperated by cultures. By languages. By distance. But God has still seen fit to weave our stories together, as only He can do. I guess His love has no boundaries.
