Familia
I went to the Dominican Republic with the goal of meeting one of my Compassion sponsor children. She had been inviting me to visit for almost a year, and I’d been praying for an opportunity. The door opened for a medical mission trip, so I went as a photographer. Little did I know, the trip was about so much more.
While there, I stayed with this beautiful family. They adopted me as a daughter and I returned a year later to deliver this drawing. It was requested by the father, who caught me drawing during a quiet moment. I wasn’t sure I could pull it off, but he cried when he saw it.
