Guatemala July 23rd-29th (Thursday)

It’s the last day. I don’t know how to explain the feeling we are all feeling right now. The very thought of having to leave the kids we’ve formed such a strong bond with is so heartbreaking. They have stolen our hearts and made what we do for them not feel like work at all. I don’t feel like I’m doing a chore by bathing them or cleaning up after them or changing their diapers. I enjoy it..I really do. God has given me such a passion for the children here; He’s given me His eyes and I see the kids as He sees them, for which I am thankful beyond words. We will kiss and hug the kids but we won’t say goodbye. When you come on trips like this, it’s usually not a one-time thing; you find it can’t be. Your heart is so changed on these trips you just can’t get enough of it. I have so enjoyed this week and the amazing people I have met. I will never forget this experience and I hope that I get the chance to come again.
