Well some of you know but I will tell you anyway- our trip got moved back due to some of our team members needing to drop out due to family conflicts. This actually is a blessing because now we all have more time to raise the money we need for the trip! HOORAY!!!
I am getting very excited about this trip. I can't wait to hold those little babies and children in my arms and squeeeeeeeeze and laugh and love on them and PLAY!!!!!!!!!! I know there may be unpleasant things on this trip and I'm okay with that. Sometimes the beauty is buried in the ashes, waiting to emerge.
I have also been learning Mandarin, which has been fun so far. I have developed some basic conversational skills and practically run over every Chinese person I meet, eager to try them out! Haha. No one else is learning Chinese and we don't really need to, but I love learning language and culture and I just can't help myself. Especially since I have the motivating factor of actually heading towards China. :-)
Anyway- just wanted to give you guys a brief update!!!
Thanks everyone who has donated so far, secretly or not...I appreciate it! 1k down, 3k to go!!!!
Love,
Melissa
