Loving the Least of These

I cant believe its almost over. It just doesnt seem real, like this day would never come. We've been planning this Honduras trip since October, and its gone already?!? It seems like I just got here, and now the GC group is already gone, and Im leaving tomorrow. I cant believe it. I dont want to leave. I could never get enough of this place. Im going to miss these kids sooo much, and the little things, the precious moments. Im going to miss the tickling matches with Maryuri and her sweet sweet smile, that can make all the troubles of the world fade, and when she wraps her arms around me as she drifts off to sleep. Im going to miss Luby's bone crushing hugs. Im going to miss Fransisco's contagious smile. Im going to miss Katty chasing me down the hall, and her laughter. Im going to miss Mario's craziness. Im going to miss all the adventures we had in Gracie, and the back of the truck. Im going to miss the late nights with JT and Ashley, and all the laughs. Im going to miss the time I get to spend with Nathan. Im going to miss this place!! ...I dont want to leave. I dont think I can wait till next summer to come back, thats a long time.

I dont fully understand why its sooo stinking hard for me to leave this place, I mean I know its mostly because of the kids, and a big part of my heart will never leave this place, but theres just something about Honduras. Maybe its God's way of telling me something...

I cant wait to bring another group down here next year. So many of my friends are wanting to come next year..its going to be awesome. I cant wait!

So Im flying out tomorrow around 11:30 I think. Ill be home around 11:00PM. Im excited to see everyone, but I still would rather stay here. ;) See you all soon.
