"A few days ago, I took a nap with the children. Lom, an eight year old boy with a happy, loving, and mischievous personality, slept next to me. He hugged me the entire time he slept, and I realized that I had fallen in love. Not with a man, but with some sweaty little orphans. "
I am still in love with them. Their pictures hang on my walls, and thoughts of them fill my head. Especially now that I in the final preparation phase for another orphanage in a new country. I leave for China in seventeen days! We are down to the teens. I got my passport with my fancy new visa back today from my trip leader. All I have left is making sure I have proper clothing, and packing my bags.
Praise God, and a major thank you to my donors, I am fully funded! I actually was given cash that was beyond what I needed by exactly $100. What am I going to do with this extra cash? Use it for my trip this summer!! I was asked by a friend to help in his mother's orphanage in Myanmar, and after praying, happily agreed. The plan is that I will spend the first three weeks of July in Myanmar, and then go straight to Vietnam, back to the same people I have worked with the previous two times. My friend and I are hoping to get a small team together to go to Myanmar with us so if you or anyone awesome you know is interested let me know!
Just in case any of you have no idea where Myanmar is. Also, I love that all three countries I am going to are in this frame. I guess you could say I have a theme going.
