I have access to the internet today! I hope that everyone is doing well. I´m still loving my time at Orphanage Emmanuel. I wish you could all see and experience all the things that I am because at least right now I really don´t have the words to explain. I wish you could see the sweet faces of these kids and see how everything works here.

We finished with the dental clinic and I now have two new jobs. I am teaching a class for special needs children in the morning and running a horse therapy program in the afternoons. I didn´t ask to be put in these jobs, my volunteer coordinator just placed me there but they are a perfect fit for me.  Pretty much, God is allowing me to work in areas that I love and have a passion for. I´ve started assessing and working on a curriculum for the special needs kids and I´m realizing how much my education is being used to help others. I love seeing the kids with the horses and we´re seeing kids who are terrified of horses in the beginning, grooming and riding horses after a few classes. If you can´t tell, I´m really enjoying my new jobs.

I also had the opportunity to do some traveling for a week and got to see Copan and a couple of cities in Guatemala. I´ll definitely have to fill you in on the stories from my time away from the orphanage when I get back. One of the biggest blessings of the trip though, was having some time to process everything that´s been going on since arriving in Honduras. It seems like I get so much more clarity on certain situations when I´m removed from the midst of them. I realized how much of a blessing it is that the Lord would send me to a place like Emmanuel. I think all of us that traveled were so ready to get back with a fresh desire to serve and love the kids. There are so many needs here (and at home too) and God chooses to use us to do some of his work. It´s so incredible that we are able to bring him glory through things that sometimes seem like such mundane tasks. Thank  you so much for your prayers and encouragement.I´m praying for all of you back home as well. Even though this place feels so much like home, I really do miss you all.I can´t wait to catch up and be able to tell you more about my experiences here.
