A Visit to Georgia

I was able to arrange my work schedule so that I had a weeks worth of days free to visit my Congolese family in Georgia. They were excited to see me and I them. They are so welcoming and loving. I am blessed to know them. 







I babysat about 8 children for a memorial service during my visit. This sweet child was put into my arms and stayed there for over 3 hours until we both started smelling like pee so I went to find his mom.


One of the cutest and sweetest kids I know! She loves to cuddle!


Riding bikes!

A and I had a lot of fun together. We are a team when it comes to keeping the house clean and the children cared for. I enjoyed getting to know her better this visit.
