New Friends Everyday!
So Kieran finally got here to join the group and we are so happy to have him! Also today we took him to see the new church being built! and it is amazing what these people can accomplish with so little! they are so resourceful. I hope that next year we can bring back a possible builder of some sort to train people here to make things a little easier on themselves. My heart just gets fuller and fuller of love for these little children here. Emily and I have developed a pretty good sized fan club. Whenever we pul up to the church there is a group of children waiting who begin to scream and jump and run with thecar shouting with excitement when we arrive. Everywhere i go chidlren want to shake my hand. Some say hi some say bonjour some say mwirdiwe but they all just love attention from us no matter how small. As i sit in church i find myself wishing i had 10 hands to i could hold more hands. They just want to be loved. And as of now that is all we can offer. I almost dreading coming back home where i know i will not be quite so popular ;)

....and as of now that is all we can offer? HoneyBunny, think about that... Jesus never once said " Provide plenty of programs as I have provided for you" it was more like "love as i have loved you". Just imagine what our planet would look like if the first thing we did was pray and love...keep on loving because that is what you do best!!
hello skyler i am your favorite little brother ;) i can not wait till i get to here your like a thousand stories about how amazing it was there i dont think our mexico stories will be able to match it but ill try. i had all my "homies" spend the night last night and they were asking if you had cell coverage i said i dont think that u really have that much time to text right now haha
buh bye, or akunamatata as they say in burundi;)
Oh Skyler, You have done so much for them and they have done so much for you. I simply love hearing about all of your stories. I feel as though I am right there beside you. augh I miss you so much! When we went up to Oklahoma to visit the family, it felt as though God was telling me this is the reason why you have a sister. I am just so thankful to have someone like you. I know that the Lord is keeping you safe but I wouldn't mind if you pulled a Jonah move and came back. . . I don't know like tomorrow? ;) You know I am just kidding. :) Thank you Thank you Thank YOU for keeping us up to date on what is happening to you! I am praying and thinking about you constantly.
I LOVE you bery bery much.
su hermana,
bella
