Where is your heart?

Dear March Team/Family,
It has been a week and a day since we've returned from Sierra Leone and from facebook postings I think we are all having similar feelings...WE MISS THE KIDS TERRIBLY! How great is our God to allow us to make instant connections with the kids and to have them nest in our hearts so quickly. I think it would be a testament to the Lord's workings if we all shared what the trip meant to us, how wer were changed, what we are doing with the "missing" since you've returned or just share anything you feel led to. We have all become close enough to share our true hearts.
For me I can't get Isatu off of my mind. My heart aches when I think of her. I know I was so fearful it would take me time to connect with the girls, but I asked God to work that out since we were on limited time and boy did He answer my prayers. Isatu and I fit together like a ball and glove. Teh girl would organize my stuff everyday(a young lady after my own heart :)It just felt good/right to have her near me. It usually takes me a while to warm up to people, but NOT with her. Not being able to talk to her or be with her is so heartbreaking, so I'm praying for her everytime she comes to mind, which is very often.
I love knowing that right now in Sierra Leone, Africa, Wellington Orphanage we know kids and adults alike are praising and loving Jesus, boy does that comfort my heart.
Surprises for me -The things I thought would be hard or matter just fell by the wayside. It all just worked out... Praise God, He is so good!!!
I loved growing closer to y'all as well. Being so likeminded and loving the kids with the spirit of Christ I feel like you all will be a part of me forever. I shared a lifechanging experience with each of you and I can't think about the amazing kids or Sierra Leone without thinking of each of you.
I know we would all like to hear each others stories so please take some time to share your heart with us.
I love each of you so much,
Karla
