This was probably the fastest week of my life. I absolutely loved sharing this experience with my Rejoice family (and some new Paynesville friends!), although we missed Deb! Every week brings something new, Rejoice was the biggest group so far for the summer and the people at the home loved them. They were all very hard workers. The group accomplished a lot this week. I miss them already, and wish them all fun time in South Padre, and a safe journey home.
Last night was the graduation celebration for the children in Reynosa. Unbelievable. One young man, Julio, is graduating from high school tonight. He gave his testimony last night that touched the hearts of everyone. Julio has been at the home for nine years and today was his last day. Can you believe that? How do you say good-bye in that situation? I wish him the best.
Hasta Lluego.

Hello Eliza-
What a wonderful week it was for us...your home church (& home)group! I'm so thankful that I got to be included, and know that your being there, brought me to Children's Haven. It will always be in my heart as we proceed forward and make our contributions to keeping this place available for those loving kids and workers. South Padre was relaxing and beautiful and the bus ride home went well. We arrived home a little after 4:00 PM. Keep your eyes on the mail...we've sent some your way.
Will stay in touch and keep you close in our prayers!
Love you!
Mom
Hey Eliza! I had a fantastic time in Mexico, and it was good seeing you! I hope that these last couple of weeks go very well for you, and that you enjoy them a bunch!
That last message was from me-
