Memories are best found within the heart // This place will be that for me— we were given the opportunity to pour into a special needs orphanage, not too far from where my team and I are staying. There I witnessed just how great of a Father we really have. He loves all of us, as we are, for who we are; just like the song, “Good Good Father” (which was ironically played during one of our visits) emphasizes, we have a Heavenly Papa who’s love for us is the only thing that defines us. — And the staff of missionaries that work there exemplify endlessly to show the children a glimpse of what that love looks like. Each of the women lives into the role of being a “mommy” for each of the children and they respond back by calling them “mama”. People can only be called such when a bond of trust, love and needs are met, and I was given the opportunity to see how these foundations were met beyond what was required. — I am beyond thankful and blown away by all the work and dedication each worker pours into these children everyday. And also honored to have been able to work alongside them and uplift them in whichever way was possible. I wish they felt like I had been a blessing to them as they had been such a blessing to me… . . . . . . #11n11 #worldrace #teamaguaviva #dothewendy #bolivia #santacruzdelasierra
