We Are Here

WOW, what a day! It started early. Sohaila woke up while I was getting ready. I saw her sweet little eyes looking at me and silent tears flowing down her face. It broke my heart to leave. But I made it out of the house holding it together! It has been one long day, I can not believe I was in Atlanta this morning!

The flights were great. You know it makes a big difference when you don't have to travel two days just to get to your destination (Uganda).   

We arrived here just after noon. We traveled through some of the city and went and had lunch. 

I am not sure if you have heard the news. El Salvador was hit hard by the storms that Hurricane Ira produced. We saw streets filled with mud, trees down, but the best of all was to hear the Compassion Team already working with the families that were directly impacted. 

We headed over to the Compassion Offices where we were introduced to the staff. It is so detailed here. The Correspondence Department was my favorite. It was so cool to see the kids letters pour in. 

This was the box they had just got. They enter them into the computer, send them out to the translators and then to the kids. This is a picture of the file cabinet of more letters. 

I am so excited about the morning. I get to meet our sponsor girl first thing in the am! She will spend all day with us just hanging out. I must get some sleep! Until tomorrow!
