It’s amazing how every day I go back to the orphanage and fall
in love with the kids even more. It’s at the point where I think of them as my
family and I would do anything for them. Today I got the incredible opportunity
to give the kids letters my sister had written for them. I have had the letters
in my bag the entire time, but was waiting to build my own relationships first.
I was overwhelmed with joy to see the happiness it brought each of them and to
know it would make Ava equally as happy.
Aside from that, we
have completely finished the girls’ house inside and out. The walls and house
are built and painted. Their bunk beds are set up and the mosquito nets are up
too. We moved all their cubbies and clothes in the dorm and bought them new
pillows and sheets. I’ve never seen anyone so excited to have a door, they were
so incredibly grateful and happy. Personally, I think the house looks beautiful
and I’m so proud of all the work we put into it. It took blood and a lot of
sweat but it was well worth it. As each day comes to an end the only thought
that comes to my mind is when I’m forced to leave these children. The other day
Levin and Roat called me brother, the thought of it brings tears of joy to my
eyes. I’m seriously contemplating bringing a couple of these kids home with me.
So Momma if you’re reading this, you better get some more beds ready at the
house.
