Wow! There are not a whole lot of other words to describe the day today. This has been one of the saddest days in my life. First we had to tell Lydia and her staff at the hotel goodbye this morning and now we are leaving the orphanage for the last time of this trip, but it feels like we are leaving family. The kids and staff of Casa Angelina have a way of grasping your heart. No matter what happens, this place will always hold a very special place in my heart. The work being done down here is absolutely amazing and just continues to grow.
The kids are absolutely amazing and deserve all that we do. Like I said before, if you have not had the opportunity or just didn't know if you wanted to come, jump at the next chance to come down here and I guarentee it will change your life. I know that this will not be a once in a lifetime trip for me. It is going to be a every opportunity I can get trip in the future.
The current property can still hold 4 more houses. Iowa team has pledged to build Harvest House which will bring another 15 kids off the street or from neglectful parents. I've talked to several people and have been thinging a lot and have come to the conclusion that God has laid on my heart to start raising funds for a house of my own. I know this is a great task and it will not be easy to do, but nothing is too great when you are working for the orphanes at Casa Angelina. I love them with all my heart and they will forever be with me even though I barely know any of them.
This will conclude our trip, for this time. I will definitely be back next year and hopefully be able to help Harvest House break ground on their new home and also let the staff at Casa Angelina know my plans for building a house.
If you have any questions about our trip, houses, etc. please feel free to email me at jjschuh7632@gmail.com.
