mi corazón está en México



My name is Emily Michele Smith.
This being my first blog, I should tell more about myself but that will come with time.
The most important thing is that I am a Christ follower striving to live out God's plan for my life.
I'll begin my story with this beautiful child.
Her name is Maria Saira Fabian.
The Lord brought me to her the summer of 2010, two years ago on my first trip to Mexico.

This is the first time we met.
Her little sister, Crystal had fallen down and I went to console her.
Little did I know how my relationship with these children would grow!

Later that day she wanted me to paint her nails and I still did not even know her name.


That night we went to a wedding and at the reception she wanted me to meet her family.
This came as a shock to me because I barely remembered the little girl.
We met so many children on that first day.
I finally understood her name.
It is Saira.
These are two of her siblings Crystal and David along with my friend Hope.

The rest of the trip we were meyor amigas.

Saying goodbye was the hardest thing I ever had to do: not knowing when or if I would see her again.

march 2012, two years after we met

I have been back to Mexico three times since and will return in Julio for three weeks!
She will be a part of my life forever thanks to the Lord's will.

More to come..
Dios Bendiga
