A note from Shannon (hi Mom)

So as I am writing, well I guess typing, we are on a bus on our way to
Llanganuco, which is a lake up on a mountain. Last night we had a
wonderful evening filled with washing feet, dancing, and listening to
testimonies around a campfire. It was a great night of fellowship and
joy. I was really glad we got to hear some of the Girasoles boys'
stories. It was incredible hearing them share their faith and the
blessing the house has been for them. It was nice to hear that our
mission these past few days and the overall mission of SouthLake is
making a difference for these boys.
I am so sad to think that we have to say Goodbye to the boys today. I
have had such an amazing time getting the oppurtunity to love on them
and speak with them. To see the smiles on their faces is enough to
melt your heart. To recieve a hug is enough to second guess coming
home. This afternoon will not pass without tears but I know in my
heart that these boys are so blessed to be in this home and with
eachother. I am so thankful that God placed it on my heart to come on
this trip and these boys will forever have a place in my heart and a
spot in my prayers.
