I'm Home!

6 airports and 5 flights later, I'm home! I'm happy to be here, and am so glad I get to see my family and friends. But, I miss Peru. I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back. I miss the babies at the orphanage, and Peru in general. I truly love Peru, it's a second home. There's so much to do there, so much is needed, I want to be back there helping. I can't do much, but every bit helps.

In the mean time, I'm going to nanny and volunteer in Nashville. I'm going to need to stay busy once everyone goes back to college, I don't want to go stir crazy.

Well, this is it chau Peru. Or should I say hasta luego, see you soon.

Pictures!

The toys were a hit, they all got played with non stop today! Here are some pictures. We're not supposed to take any, so these are the only ones I have of the kids at this orpahange…I wouldn't have been able to get them if I hadn't taken toys. Thanks to everyone who gave me money and made this possible!



The one sitting in my lap is Joni. He's the one I want to take home with me. He actually knows my name now, I don't even have to remind him anymore. Today was the last time I'll see him, I'm hopefully going to be able to sponsor him and come back for his baptism next year. I couldn't stop crying today when I had to leave them all, but especially him. I seriously love him like he's my own kid.
