from Kalee

Today is the day that we leave and my heart is breaking. This week I got to be a big sister to a little girl named Margina. As I gave her a hug she looked at me and in broken english told me your not coming back aren't you. I shook my head and my eyes filled with tears. It reminded me of how Jesus must have felt as he put himself on the cross as he descended in the sky. It was hard to watch this little girl cling to me and not want me to go. I have learned that you can not love someone enough and life does not give enough time for that. This week I have been blessed by Mrs. Fricker and Mrs. Towne, they have really taken a step in being a mother to me and I felt part of me healing. I was so blessed to have someone care about me the way my mom cared about me. I know when I get back I am going to continue the relationships I have made with people. God is a great and awesome God and he has put a passion in my heart for Nicaragua. I know I will be back probably a couple of years from now, but I will be back. God has changed my world and I know that this year and the years to come will be fruitful. We are going to be the start of a movement that will never end. I know when I get home Satan is going to try to make temptations for me and I know I will fail, but I also know I will get back up. My God is worth fighting for and I will fight for Him for the rest of my life. I also realized how important community is and how we all need to stay connected and keep each other accountable. May God bless all of you as he works in your life and may He bless you as He has blessed me. Our God is an awesome God.
