July 10th

hey all this is victoria. i am off today :) it has been wonderful catching up on sleep. things here are incredible i absolutley love it. i am having the time of my life. although we have been insanely busy and are working really hard we are accomplishing so much and helping out the childrens homes a lot. Even though we have only been here for a little under a week, it feels like i have known the other interns my entire life. i love them all. we are all having a blast together. last night we had an intern night where we all got together and watched the movie the bucket list and we made brownies and popcorn which has never tasted so good to me since all we have been eating is mexican food haha. my relationship with God has grown more than i ever thought possible.. its incredible what only a week can do. i am excited to see how much i can grow spiritually, mentally and physically in the next three weeks. Although when i started here and even now i am not sure exactly why i am here and what God has in store for me, i have decided to take it one day at a time and enjoy the little moments and let God show me his reason for giving me the opportunity to be here.

i cant even explain how being here makes me feel. everyone is so great. you come back from a long day and all the interns ask each other how their day was and we tell each other all about them. its neat to hear other interns talk about what they did and how it made them feel.

my favorite part of my days are worship every night. we have a church service every night but fridays and it is amazing. we sing songs that are rocking and incredible and we dance and get very into them. one of the staff ususally gives an incredible and motivating sermon and i just have never felt so close to God.

please post comments we love reading them and hearing from you every night!

love you all very much
