Hello everyone!
I made it! Dad and I got here on Friday afternoon. I have to say that I was probably the most scared that I´ve ever been in my life. Thank goodness that my dad was there to comfort me and tell me that God is taking care of me and He wants me here. I was very sad and scared when he left the next morning to go home, but he wrote me a really encouraging letter that I have taped to my wall.
The children are very cute. I have especially gotten to know the little boys. There are so many children at this orphanage and it is hard for me to learn all their names! All of the children have had very aweful pasts and very sad stories. I am able to read about them when I go to the church office and organize their files.
At church on Sunday morning, I really missed Trinity! Everyone welcomed me and my name was in the bullitan that read: "Welcome Sarah Riddles, who came from North Carolina to help at Casa Hogar. May God bless her richly."
My sweetmate, Emily, has been taking very good care of me by showing me around and how to do things. Today, we went to Wal-Mart to buy fruit so that we won´t get scurvy. I am very thankful for her!
Please continue to pray for me. Pray that the older girls will open up to me and for better relationships. And also for my Spanish (which is struggling very much!).
