I am beyond excited for this trip, I am still amazed at how perfectly God has been working out the details. Not only will I be able to visit a new part of Colombia, but I will be able spend time with some of the sponsors and translators from my previous Colombia trip! I can't wait to spend time with the beautiful children and families of Colombia!
Meet My Girls:
I will be re-visiting Sara and Daniela whom I met April 2013. I am anxious for my first return visit to see how we bond the second time around. I feel that having our past meeting under our belt, those "awkward" first moments won't be there. Hopefully we will pick up right where we left off!

In addition to Sara and Daniela, I will be meeting two new little girls for the first time. They are both new correspondents from the last couple of months. Valery and Angie have captured my heart without even receiving their first letters yet. I am so anxious to get to know them through letters, and I just can't wait to be able to hug them!

Meeting four girls at once will be a first for me! I was able to manage three in Honduras, so hopefully four won't be too difficult! I am praying that they will all get along, even create a special bond. (My gut feeling is that they will!) I am open to gift suggestions! I am trying to avoid repeats for the older girls. I am also hoping for some "outside the box" suggestions!
I have been so blessed by the children I sponsor and the correspondents God has chosen for me. I believe God has brought each child into my life for a special reason. I just can't help but get excited to spend time with these four beautiful young ladies! This is probably the ONLY time I will ever wish away summer. Come on October! Get here FAST!!!!!
How exciting!!!! Would you be able to bring something like a sewing kit to your girls? Just an idea :)
ReplyDeleteVery exciting! I sure wish I could join you on the trip, but it is looking like the February trip is the one for me :)
