I´m writing this blog at the orphanage, and because the room is open to the outside, I can hear a lot of what´s going on out there. I don´t know how many times I´ve heard the name ¨Julie¨´since I´ve been in here, but it´s becoming pretty obvious that there are many children who love Julie, our SHIP volunteer. She first came to the orphanage while on a family road trip through Central America, and she liked it so much that she decided to come back. Julie´s going to be here for the whole summer.
It´s really no wonder that the kids love her. She speaks Spanish, plays basketball with them, and has been doing a great job of teaching (and also distracting) the little ones during the day. Today´s lesson involved sidewalk chalk. How fun is that?
We knew before she even got here that Julie had a lot of talents, and we were very excited to have her come back. But there was one talent that we didn´t know about.
Check it out!

Denis was doing a pretty good job as well.
But, Julie is undoubtedly the champion of this sport. She solidified her status as champion when she did this trick.
We have been so excited to have Julie here with us. She´s done an amazing job with the kids, and they love her. Please remember her in your prayers.

As one of Julie's aunts I've been witness to many of her creative talents. While we miss her here I know she's loving the work she's doing there. Please pass along my love to her and best wishes to you all.
