As mentioned in a previous blog I have become very close with two of the younger girls here at Mi Casa Kids International. We have easily become sisters to each other. The first time I met them I knew that I would have a great friendship with them because they instantly reminded me of the girls that I used to be a nanny for. The next day I went to the store to buy supplies for our many grand adventures. I bought make-up, paper, crayons, hair clips, movies, and popcorn. Here is a little insight to our time spent together…
At the beginning of the month the ministry host, Bob, told the team that the kids might ask us to adopt them. This blew my mind a little. I thought, How in the world am I going to be able to look the child in the eyes and tell them: I really like you, but sorry I can't adopt you. He then explained that the kids understand that we cannot adopt them and when they ask this question is simply means to adopt them as a friend. Meaning that after we leave we still continue to pray for them, that we message them on FB or write them long letters telling them how much we miss them. This I can do. This I have done. Rosita and Ceci are now and forevermore my sisters.

You have officially met my new sisters 🙂 These girls will always have a piece of my heart and I pray everyday that they will always remember Feb – March 2012. In writing this blog ( which I will send a copy to the girls )
- I want them to know that someone truly cares about them.
- I want them to see the potential that I see in them and that God has for them.
- I want them to grow up and be the woman of God that I know they are called to be.
- I want them to feel the love that they so often showed to me.
