Even though I have made trips home since I have moved to Mexico, I haven't got to see any of my friends. From holidays, birthdays, parent days, and my cousin coming home from Iraq, my family has consumed me....or shall I say I have been consumed by them.

Yesterday, I actually got to go to Amadeo. It was an emotional drive there, but I held it together. I started to feel the tears getting ready the second I heard Ben singing as I walked up. When I entered, I saw lots of new faces and not a single familiar (it's great how it's been growing). Then I saw Amy. Once I started hugging Amy, the tears started to pour. A lot. Then I saw Madi, Gracie, Abraham, Damiana, and the list goes on. I couldn't stop crying. I tried to sing, but it was hard to even get a couple of words out. Once it was communion time, I was still crying and trying to stop, but the tears continued to pour. Ben said hi to me during the middle of the song and I really wanted just to talk to him and give him a big fat hug. It was great to catch up with people during the break and afterwards. I could totally relate to Robert's message as I am a missionary that has been kicked out of an orphanage. It's the same level of humility that he must have experienced being a pastor that got a 2nd class misdemeanor. It's crazy how you can get so filled with love for something or someone and not see what everything has come to. Fellowship is so important. It helps people constantly keep us in check and tell us what is going on and what we're doing wrong. I am so thankful that I have that now since I was so desperately lacking it before.

I have decided on when I am moving back to the states. It will be sometime in August when school starts. I think this is a good time to move back. I want to continue serving at Casa Timeteo during the summer as there is a lot more work to do. I am starting to pray about one day going to Ecuador. My aunt and uncle want to start an orphanage down there and they want my help in the process. They have been missionaries down there for over 10 years and they have a lot of awesome ministries. The thought of it makes me cry and be excited because it would be hard to say goodbye to the kids and people at CT for a long time without being able to visit. As of right now, my plan is to visit CT a couple weekends a month when I return to the states. Please keep me in your prayers. I love you all.
