today we went to rio 3. it is another place that is a dump site near a river where people have built their houses out of the trash they have found. everytime i go there it breaks my heart, to know that the kids i interact with have to live in those conditions. although, they have an advantage over the kids in the childrens homes, because they all live with their families. this week is going by fast which is bittersweet. i am excited to go home and see everyone but i really dont wanna leave here yet. i absolutely love it down here. i feel like god has put it in my heart to continually pray over the next year to see if he wants me to intern again next summer. if the funds all fall into place then obviously he wants me here again. it has been an amazing growing experience emotionally and spiritually and i pray that when i go home i continue to live the way i do here and continue to be this close to god because there is absolutely nothing like it. thank you everyone for all your support this month it has really made all the difference. please be praying for us as there is a tropical storm headed our way.
