Happy New Year 2014! In 3 weeks, I will be embarking on the most difficult journey I have taken in my life thus far. I am still amazed by the support that has come pouring in from all directions. With your donations, there is hope that the children in the orphanages in Xela will feel your joy and love across continents and know that they are not alone.
As I prepare for this trip, I will be speaking with others who have traveled to Xela in the past as well as brushing up on my Spanish skills!
To say that nerves are out of the question would be a lie, but my nervouseness stems from my curiousity about where exactly I will be called to volunteer. Will I be able to provide volunteer work to a culture so different from mine while respecting their values and customs? Will the language barrier keep me from reaching out to the needs of these young abandoned and orphaned children? In the coming weeks, however you practice faith or believe, please be thinking about this project, the children, my host family, and all of those in our world who we can serve.
My curvy life path has led me to Xela, and I cannot even imagine what will come after that. With the love of those around me, my path has begun and in 3 weeks I will be taking my first steps into a foreign culture and language and soaking in every bit of each moment.
If you would still like to donate, please go here!! We are still raising funds for Xela.
Mucho amor a todos.
