Tuesday July 13th: Today it really hit me how difficult it is going to be to leave the children next week. The new bonds that I have created and the older bonds that are now even stronger will forever be part of heart. The bond that I have with Osward is only something that God could have brought together. Tears filled my eyes tonight as he sat in my arms as I looked around at all the children that will forever be my family. How is it that I am going to leave him and the others behind?? Until that day comes I will continue to pour put the love that I have to each and every one of them. I am blessed to have been chosen by God to be part of his greater plan.

Wednesday July 14th: I have been blessed again with an amazing day with the children. I have spent most of my time with Osward which I know God has planned and prepared me for. He is urning for just some one-on-one attention and love. he is such a kind hearted young man who needs to know how much he is loved and that I will always be part of his life. He is also a great student who has a huge love for mathematics. I look forward to what the Lord has planned for him.
We found out this evening that both of our House Moms lost family members today. Because of this we will be taking care of the children. Mai and Diane have volunteered to stay with the children in the homes. Please pray for them and their familes.

Thursday July 15th: Today's highlight was the PINATA!! Some of our team members did a great job making a pinata today for the children. The children had a blast taking turns swinging and breaking it open. It is amazing how happy all of them were and the smiles on their faces was nothing more than priceless :)
