WOW, i’ve never seen so many miracles crammed into one week!

when i left my home to visit my families sponsored children, I left as a teenager with little purpose.

But when i came home, I wasn’t just a teenage girl anymore, i was a warrior for God, with many new friends and brothers and sisters!

i have a lot more confidence, and i even sponsor a girl with my two younger sisters.

everyone around me can see how much this trip has impacted me, and i cant wait to go back.
