Person of the Week!

Maggie Barankitse

Maggie was around during the 1993 civil wars in Rwanda. At one point in the war, she herself saw many become killed. She worked and managed to save 25 children that she took into her home. After this, she knew what her new role was.

Maggie began to form the Maison Shalom. This means the house of peace. Her goal was to use this house for orphaned, mistreated, and abandoned children "in security, education, and love".

She provides education to these kids loves these kids and so much more. She wants to let them have a real family, so she places them in houses on the property and allows them to have a family unit they belong to. Today, she has over 10,000 kids that she mothers.

This woman has shown the world how to love selflessly. She has also shown the importance of the children around the world and how important they are to the future. I can not wait to work with even more kids some day :)

Spring Break

Today my Mom and I had a hang out session. First, we dropped my car off to get some overly needed tires, then cruised the wonderful world of East County. After an amazing meal at Panera, we headed to walk this little puppy:) He was adorable and had SO much energy. It was a fun day to hang out and talk about silly things. I cant wait to do it again:)

Peter-good thing you aren't here because I have his hair all over me:)

El mercado con Senora Stovall]

I hung out with Mrs. Stovall today. She is an amazing woman of God, who also happens to have been my Spanish teacher. She took me to a Spanish market and taught me how to make this delicious treat for my Costa Rica Spanish project:) I love hanging out with her.

The perfect father

Today I was having one of those days were you just feel as though you can not catch a break. I was praying out to God to come and comfort me and I happened to look up at the door I was pushing open and this was on it. I didn't expect such a direct message from him:) God is so faithful.

(Its a little hard to read but it says you are known and loved by the father)
