And then...You have to come back home!
There are lots of stories I want to share with you. Many are written in my journal, i.e. Highlights, Lowlights, Most exciting, Things I won't ever forget, etc. I hope those make it on this blog. I need to make time to type it all out.
In the mean time, I'll be honest and say adjusting to home has been a bit harder than I imagined. I don't know why - - Well, Okay, I do...Watch this video and maybe you'll have an idea why.

The A-Team
Some of the girls working on Ashley's hair
parting her hair to make french braids
With Casa Promesa, we helped prepare for a lovely Quincenera. It was pretty funny how we all (everyone from Casa Promesa) were working so hard to make the house look like a party. Then the World Cup game started and everything came to an absolute halt. We finished in time and the Quincenera was PERFECT!!
I hung up the lights using a HUGE ladder...have I ever mentioned I'm TERRIFIED of heights?
The BOY in the girls house. He works the charm!
With Casa Nuevo Pacto, we have just hung out. We've watched a movie and created the most ridiculous dance moves. (hahahaha!!) We also went to a going away party for one of the boys. It was bittersweet.
he was a little one the last time I had seen him
oh the TORTURE! haha! He was probably five the last time I saw him!
Some of the staff members took the youth away for an overnight retreat. We have had an awesome time babysitting one of the staff member's two young boys. We have watched movies, eaten lots of palomitas (popcorn), played in the mud and laughed a WHOLE lot!
