So friday was my last day at VBS. I have worked with these specific women & children for two weeks. The kids are obviously adorable & will break your heart, but it's the women who work with these kids that truly inspire me. They welcomed me with open arms, treated me like another sister, & tolerated my terrible spanish skills. They work every day with these kids with smiles on their faces, but while still dealing with their lives outside of it. These women's stories touched my heart & inspired me. I thought I would make it out with out tears, but totally not possible. I don't think they would ever understand how they have changed me.
On a side note, the power in the hotel just went out for a total of about 30 seconds. Probably the most terrifying 30 seconds ever. Btw I live on the 8th floor of this place & I was having mental images of me climbing down all those stairs with my little keychain flashlight.
Oh & I got pizza hut for lunch. A-mazing.
