Today we said our goodbyes. But first, while the children were at school, Bethany and I went from bed to bed leaving a Bible for each one. We wrote their names inside and a special verse for each child. They were so excited! Especially the older kids who had been asking about Bibles.
Today Grace stopped wearing her beanie! She had the same fungus problem as all the other kids and had lost some hair so she always wore a hat. I know it was God who healed them. It was so out of control! I had given them medicine but it ran out before it could have taken total effect. So when she took off her beanie and I saw her hair had grown in I thought, "wow! Je es moi!" (You are beautiful!). And from there she kept her hat off! Yay!
When it was time to say goodbye, dear Alexia was so so sweet! She says, "oh Amanda! I will miss you! Thank you for all you have done for us." That's when the tears came; I try so hard not to! Some of the kids just laugh at me for doing so. I think they have taught themselves to stay a bit more detached so as not to have to feel that kind of pain again that they've felt before. I will miss these kids! I really cannot think straight at the moment so I don't have any big thoughts to give. And we are at the farm before heading north. I am thankful because little Katy is here and we are making cupcakes, rather I am making them and have no idea what I am doing in this altitude and converting ferenheit to celsius. Oy!
Thank you for your prayers to keep our spirits high! love, amanda
