Today I helped Pam Baker and then us interns took the kindergarten class out to lunch and tomorrow we are taking the older class like Grady, Stacey, Windy and so on. It is crazy watching them be out cause they eat a ton. Like they never stop to take a break. They just eat eat eat.
Today we get a new intern who is 19 and her name is Bethany. And Becca and Linda, who are two of my roommates, leave this weekend. Then I am moving into an aparment with this girl named Tess who comes on Friday my time. She is here for a couple weeks and she is also my age. So, two 17 year olds living in an apartment! wohooo!:)
I really dont want to leave this place. At night I just think that I have to leave here in a couple weeks and I will just cry. I can't even think about it. I have grown so close to some of these kids, expecially Grady. He wants to go to America so bad. He is always talking about it and asking me questions about it. Then he sees the other kids getting adopted and its so hard on him. He asks about 3 times a week when am I going back home and when I tell him he just sits there all quiet.
I am working with this girl Joelle for physical therapy and she doesn't get any attention because they are pretty sure that she is the next to die. The nannies won't go by her because they know that she will die soon. Its so sad. She is blind and hard of hearing and something is wrong with her head. But I just sit there and hold her and cry just thinking that I may be the last person who holds her. Is there any way that I can stay here longer? :)

I also want to take the time to thank you for not only following her journey as she interns in China but also for your pr*yers and encouragement. It not only means a lot to her but also to her family!
