I'm taking a lot of this trip home with me. The physical: a cut that has turned into a scar I received while trying to step off a stone wall after a picture opportunity the first day I was here. The emotional: tearing up while seeing these kids smile every time you just look at them. The spiritual: really watching God work through the love and compassion of the men and women who are working in these orphanages.

Most of all, I'm taking so many memories with me back to North Carolina. It's been such a blessing to have spent these last few weeks watching my son experience all of this. It's been great for both Kate and me to see how Aaron's continuing to be molded in His image. My personal highlight of this trip has been watching Aaron's reaction to all of this.

Busy day tomorrow..
