Heart of Worship

Today one of the girls who has been here for about 6 or 7 years left Casa Hogar. She went back with her family. Her name is olimar. I miss her so much. It's so strange to have her gone... The other girls who live with her cried a lot today. Pray she has a comfortable transition back to home. Me, lauren and Rebekah (the fifth intern who just came in yesterday!!) spent the night up in the girls dorms last night. I love spending the nights up there :] They pull out three or four mattresses and a bunch of us huddle on them and fall asleep squished in the heat hahaha but its so fun.

Trinity also left today... Thank you Trinity for all you did for Casa Hogar. Thank you so much for leaving us leftover food and shampoo and conditioner hahah <3 you guys were such a blessing to have here. They conducted VBS and games for the kids most nights. One night they took the kids out for some paintballing. I went, too. It was... AWESOME. The older boys especially enjoyed it. Again, you guys were such a blessing to have here! Thank you for coming! It was hard to say goodbye, especially, as some of my close friends and brother had to leave me. But I know they'll go home and tell everyone how God worked in their lives.
What we really need to stress is the return of teams. Teams mean more to these kids than just finances. It's a time where they can be loved by others (the staff here loves the children SOOOO much! but they can't always run around like teams can or buy and bring them gifts as Casa Hogar isn't rich).

So, I have been asked to update my blogs more so that's what I will do :]
Love,
Jesi
