hello
hey there. sorry its been awhile. today is our morning off and then we have the afternoon with the big group of kids. then we only have two more days of curriculum! crazy...we think that we leave on tuesday to go to jarabacoa and the beach and then i fly home on thursday. this has been such a rewarding experience. it has been amazing to see some changes in kids over this month. one girl who is really spunky and gave us a run for our money for the longest time, is starting to have a change of heart. the other day she started listening to us and obeying the first time, and she was being so kind to her brothers and sisters. i really affirmed her good behavior and we talked about the fruit of the spirit in her life. its so neat to see God work in a childs heart. ive also been reading whats so amazing about grace by phillip yancy. wow that is a great book and it has been really helpful for me to think more about grace, and being here it has really hit home. Gods grace is amazing. it costs everything for the giver and nothing for the reciever.

Em,
It's cool to think that while we're here in Mexico struggling with our Spanish (at least I am), you are translating and interpreting and sharing the love of Jesus in the heart language of the kids!
We love you and can't wait to see you next week!
Love,
Dad
Hi Emily Ruth,
I enjoyed reading about the little girl who has had a change of heart. That's why you are there! Even though you are leaving her, she will be forever changed because of your love, prayers, and teachings. Have a safe, fast trip home!
Love, Aunt Beth
Emily
