Cami's thoughts of the day...

Just finished day three at Ninos and I wanted to share with you what I have learned :)

Colby- all the kids love Colby and he laughs ALL the time. His laughter is infectious and its impossible to be in a bad mood around him.

Darrel- He is our trusted leader, the one we look to for direction and answers. He is also willing to take one heck of a soccer ball to the nose. Never one to shy away from 'taking one for the team':)

Scott- He loves God and his family and he will share about both to anyone without reservation. Its pretty cool to see someone with his devotion.

Alex- He is the instigator of the team. If there is the something to be tried, he is the one pushing someone else to try it, possibly for his own amusement??? He also loves the kids and it shows.

Callie- She is our unofficial team mate interning at the Jirah house. We got to borrow her for the week. She has such a big heart and a love for what she is doing. So refreshing in someone so young, and inspiring. What an impressive young lady.

Rose- She's our caretaker. She works so hard with little thought of herself and witnessing her connect with others is touching.

Stacy- Those of you that know Stacy may laugh at this, but I really thought she was quiet and shy. I was wrong!  She is so energetic, has the best Olivia and Amelia stories and has the greatest laugh, which she shares with us often.

Nich- He is our team comedian. He plays a mean tether ball game and spares no one. He is super fun, has everyone laughing, and yet takes the time to connect with whoever may be sitting of by themselves.

I have so much to share about the houses, the kids, and the importance of what we are doing here.
But today, I am just feeling so blessed to get to know these eight brothers and sisters in Christ.
I want to say a special thank you to all of you for making this possible and for this team and their willingness to leave their families and comforts to share in this experience.
I sometimes (often) struggle with connecting with others, but I have been given such an incredible opportunity to connect with and get to know these people one a deeper level and I am better because of if.

Thank you again ~
