We are flying to the States tomorrow!  I’ll be home in less than
48 hours!  I’m very excited to see everyone and share with you
personally.  I would love to talk to you if you have any questions or
want to have lunch/coffee.  I also hope to post a few more blogs on
this site to give you an idea of what I have learned and to share a
little more about this last month.  God is so amazing and He has shown
it to me over and over this year!  Please continue to pray and seek God
on my behalf…this will be yet another not so easy transition back
into the U.S.  Also, I am praying about where God is leading me and it
takes some courage to think big.  So I will need big prayers and big
support.  Thank you for already doing that so much.
 
 
 
Dios le bendiga y Hasta pronto!

Julietta-
falling asleep while she is trying to finish her dinner, at the
Quincenera; When we first arrived on the first day at the orphanage she
immediately came up and jumped and hugged every one of us…how is she
so loving and trusting after what she’s been through?
