Hey family of mine! I miss you all very much! I'm sorry I haven't been able to call you guys. I have no phone, and I'm not planning on getting one for the rest of the trip. I love it here in El Salvador! I definetly miss the comforts of home, but I'm adapting pretty well. It feels almost like a second home. :) I love the people, of course, and I'm making a lot of really good friends. We have been working pretty hard, I'm very tired. But it feels really good to be helping out in the orphanage. I will have a lot of stories to tell you when I get home but one is that today after dinner, Lynnae and I went to look at some of the work we did at one of the houses. A lot of little boys came out and we started playing with them. It was cute because they knew the game where you point to someone's shirt and then bop their noses! They were doing it to us a lot. Oh, and then one little boy started immitating Lynnae and it was so cute! He was speaking what she would say in his heavy accented English. It was really funny. :) I'm catching on to the Spanish really well, and the guys and girls help a lot with communicating back and forth. They are very patient and nice. I really like them. Well all that to say, I'm having a pretty amazing time, but I miss you guys. Give kisses to Colton and Zach, tell Riley that I love her, and I will hopfully talk to you soon. I love you all!

Hi Madison, it is so good to hear from you! Of course we miss you desperately, but we are also so glad that you are having such a blessed time. I knew that you would have a heart connection to these wonderful kids. Any "Julias" there? I'm sure the best is yet to come! You are blessed for working so hard and giving of yourself to others. Everything is great at home, but we miss our girls ;=) Penny sends her love and kisses to you. Phonie is brand new and waiting for you. I'm having a great time driving your...my car!! I love you boo__ - Dad
ReplyDeleteOh Madison, it was so good to hear from you! I just sat with tears dropping on the keyboard! I miss you, but know that you are being blessed by blessing those in El Salvador and I am so proud of you! May the Lord continue to work through you and your team to minister to all that you come in contact with. God is so good! I love you! We will see you soon Boodle, thanks for the little note! :)
