Changes

It's hard to believe that five weeks have gone by since I returned. The girls have been here for a month now. There are changes that I did not expect as usual, life is full of changes yes? I only have 2 new girls in the dorm, Letti and Isabel. They are sisters from southern Mexico. It was decided that their younger hearing sister would not come after all. As of now I only have 10 girls in the dorm. Not nearly as many as we had initially thought. Three of my girls that have been with me for years, Miriam, Ana Lidia and Celeste have not returned. Thankful they will be back "home" soon. Ana Lidia and Celeste will be here this weekend. As soon as he has time, one of our director's Eddie will be going to pick Miriam up. All the girls are excited for them to return. Milagros asks me multiple times a day, "Where is Celeste?". I explain each time that she is sick but will be better soon and come back to school. Even thought the past few weeks have been not quite what I expected it is still a time filled with joy and contentment.
