From Miami.......Raquel

Image hosted by Photobucket.comWell, this trip was really different from others, but also we kept a lot more in touch with people, we got to know them better every single day and not even their words of all that people that have suffer can describe their real feelings. Sometimes I think I have suffered in life, but the way I did suffer is nothing compare with what they had experienced, I admire the way they stand up I fight for what they want and never give up. This is the forth year that I have the opportunity to work with Torch Missions and I always like to do the hard work, and I have learn that not only translating or doing the hard work you served God, but also

by opening your heart and sincerely listening to others and share with them you help because is hard to find someone that really will care. Today I can not try to remember all those feelings of being in Honduras with all those children because I still feel them and those images still alive in my heart. My life has changed; I learn how to appreciate the life that he has given me, and that just having God in my heart is enough to live. I also have the opportunity to talk about this trip with my partners at work and it makes me really happy, because is hard to talk to them about God and this is one way of letting them know that there is a God. I can not stop thinking about how God has blessed me. I believe that God is seen everywhere. I have a family and health, education and the most important thing the nucleus of myself Jesus. Now I think at least twice before taking a decision, because I will affect others around me. I know that this entire people that now have a new house, or a pair of shoes, or a new song in their heart of a bag of food have seen Jesus, and they now know that he exists.

Thanks to Mark and Lori Connell that always work hard for Jesus, I really love to be with them and share with them every day and learn about them and the way they serve God. You are one of the best examples in my life and thanks for all the patience and love you have shared to all of us.
