He regresado a los ee. uu.!/ I'm back!

My last day at the Center.
Dana and Joana presented me with a card and gift from my Kinder class.
This was probably one of the hardest days in Bolivia, leaving my ninitos!

A mis amigos en Bolivia, los extrano mucho...desde he regresado a los ee. uu. Es la verdad! He compartido las historias con mi familia y mis amigos y es dificil todas las veces para hablar de las experiencias y personas alla. Estoy orando por todos y espero que esten buenos y que nuestro Dios este bendiciendoles. Yo se que Dios me has dado pasiones por los ninitos en Bolivia y espero que volver pronto. Quiero reuinernos juntos pronto pronto pronto :) Los quiero y Dios les bendiga!

To my family and friends here in the States. Thank you so much for your prayers and support over the past year as I prepared, left, lived, and have recently returned from Bolivia. It's difficult to express how much I love Bolivians and the children who live there. I am so grateful for my experiences and how God used me, blessed me, and affirmed so many of my passions. Again, the Lord showed me how wherever I am is His missionfield. Whether there's a ministry label attached or not, my job is to glorify Him in my actions and words (not that I get that right all the time!). No matter if I was at the orphanages tutoring, playing soccer with Bolivian men (yep, it was great!), or cooking with my roommates, God simply blessed me with opportunities to share His love. I have so many stories, from crazy micro drivers to "Aha!" moments doing homework, I just can't wait to share them with you. I miss everyone in Bolivia so much and I truly desire to return again. If you want to get together and see pictures or just hang out or pray, give me a call or shoot me an email! I'd love to see you!
