I leave Ecuador one week from today.. one week. Tomorrow morning I have to say goodbye to my girls house girls. The ones who have become closest to my heart, the ones that make my week, the ones that taught me how to love, the girls who helped me through my week, the ones I looked most forward to seeing, the ones I felt most comfortable with. They're my sisters, and I love them just as that and nothing less. They are the most perfect souls, always thinking of others, being christlike, and giving their love freely regardless that they've been abused and neglected by their temporal family. I haven't cried thinking about leaving until tonight. I cried when I talked to Angela, I sobbed when I called my mom. I just feel like my time isn't up yet, I still have more to learn from them. I know they may not remember me, but they truly will be in my heart forever and ever. Every saturday morning I got to spend it enjoying being a girl, and relaxing with my 5-18 year old girlfriends. I will miss their laughs, how they correct and or laugh at my spanish, I will miss how they greet me with a beso on the cheek, how they hold my hand, and how they make me jump rope with them. I will miss their long hugs, and our little hand clapping games. I long so much to be able to tell them how amazing they are, I wish so bad that I could explain to them how much they are loved. I want them to understand how much of a difference they've made in my life, and I will become a better person because of them. I wish they knew how much Heavenly Father loves them, I know thats the truth because I can feel his love and concern for each and everyone individually. I want to tell them just how much potential they have, and to never settle for less than what they deserve. I know without a doubt, one day I will have that opportunity. Until then my hugs, kisses, and tears will have to suffice.
For all those times you stood by me.
For all the truth that you made me see.
For all the joy you brought to my life.
For all the wrong that you made right.
For every dream you made come true.
For all the love I found in you.
I'll be forever thankful, baby.
You're the one who held me up,
Never let me fall. You're the one who
saw me through through it all.
