Amigos

Me and with my amazing friend Moises

Teenagers. The older kids at Casa de Esperanza are amazing.
They have been through so much. They are hurting and
trying to figure out their future and still trying to be a kid with
tons of responsibility on their shoulders.

With MaryLuc! Beautiful inside and out

They are so fun. I have never laughed so much as when I am with these
kids. Their tough and love giving us a hard time but so sweet and just
soak up any compliment and love you give them. Even if they pretend
they don't like it. They loved seeing how far they could push me.

"Are you mad yet Lily?" One kid would always ask me. And I would say our
inside joke "Only babies get mad."

Hanging out with Esteban... coolest kid ever!

Marcos, Susy, Ximena and Esther

These kids are so mature and strong.
What they've gone through and how they
can still be smiling and laughing is amazing
to me. I pray that God would continue to
work in their hearts and draw them to Himself!

Roberto and Gustavo

 

Can't wait to go back and be able to spend
more time with these amazing friends God
has given me! I am incredibly blessed!

Have a fabulous 4th of July!
