Anchored

So it has been a while since my last post...  There are a lot of reasons for this (one being my computer is on its last leg)  but it is definitley not for a lack of content!  Totally the opposite actually.  Every day here is a new experience.  Some, no most of them are wonderful experiences and I feel blessed beyond words.  Others just stretch my faith.  But during every experience I have this anchor.  This anchor cheers me up when I'm sad and encourages me when my pace slows.  This wonderful anchor reminds me why I'm here and why I can't leave.  It inspires me to think outside of the box and continues to challenge me.  I wanted to show you what anchors me.  What keeps me here.  What keeps me passionate and determined to fight. 

Its the children.


Sweet, inquisitive Moises followed me around for hours asking me to take pictures.  When I told him this  would be his last picture this was his smile.


I was having lunch one day with 3 very entertaining young boys.  I excused myself to get a glass of water and returned to an empty table! Wonder where they went??


Little Nohelia.  This is her pouting face.  She only does it by request now that she knows it makes me laugh.
hahaha ;)



We took the 3,4 and 5 year olds on a walk through town.  On our way an elderly woman was blessed to tears by the kindess of the children.
