I'm not ready to go yet!!

       I’ve only been here a month, and I feel like I’ve been here forever! I’ve fallen in love with so many of these children, when I leave I know I will definitely be leaving a part of my heart here. I don’t want to think about leaving, but every once in a while the kids remind me. They ask me when I am leaving. This happened last night when I was telling the older girls good night. One of them asked me when I was leaving and I said April. Bristy, the sweetheart she is, was like “don’t leave until April 10, because my birthday is April 9.” I almost started crying right then, because I know I’m not going to be here for it. It’s like I told the boys once when they asked, I want to until they are all grown up and ready to go out on their own. I already knew this, but this experience is confirming my wishes, I want to spend part/most of my life in the mission field.
Thank you G'ma & G'pa for this passion!! I'm not sure if it would be there with out all the stories I heard growing up!! Love you guys!
