la casa.

This week has been exciting, exhausting, new, rewarding, and hard all at the same time. Blessed. That's really all I can say. I started teaching Kindergarten this week and it was... crazyyyyy. Me and 24 spanish speaking 5-year-olds in a tiny classroom with lots of character. I already love them with my whole hearts.

We also spent lots of time this week taking care of all the necessary details for renting our house! We are beyond thankful for this gift that God has blessed us with. It's a great house, in an awesome location, with amazing neighbors. We couldn't have found a better house if we tried. Here are some pictures...


We hope you can come visit sometime and see it in person :) There's even a bubblegum pink guest room that can be all yours!

immeasurably more.

We have arrived! Words could not possibly express my heart right now. I am beyond blessed and the past few days have been amazing. God has confirmed that this is exactly where we are supposed to be more times than I can count. It's insane really. I'm overwhelmed thinking about all that He has done just since we got here last Wednesday.

We have spent the past few days meeting with the director of the school we are teaching at, observing classes, hugging and catching up with all the kids at both orphanages, and visiting with our friends and family that we have missed so much.

My heart is full.

I start teaching kindergarten tomorrow and I'm excited! I met my students on Friday and they are adorable. We are also beginning the moving process and will hopefully have moved into the house we are renting next weekend. God has provided us with so much!

These are my two sisters that I get to spend the next year with. This is the only time all three of us have ever been together in the States :)

God is good. I find myself going back to the Scripture that I put on one of my first updates about moving back... "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine... to Him be glory" Ephesians 3:20.

He is truly doing more than we could have ever asked or imagined.
