Hi All!

Hi Everyone!

I am nearing the end of my second amazing week here at Ellerslie!
There are so many amazing things that God has been teaching me this last two weeks, but it would take longer than I have to go into that.
I will say that He has been showing me more of His wonderful nature, which in turn draws me closer to Him.
I don't know how often I will be able to post. But I will try to update you all as much as possible.

The Staff here are great! They are truly living lives pored out for Christ.
The students are wonderful too! They all have a hunger and fire for Christ that is truly inspiring!

Well I have to run!
Hope to talk at you soon!!

Why I'm Going

The lady talking in this video is Danita Estrella of Danita's Children, the orphanage that I will be working at the end of this Summer.

Doesn't this just melt your heart and make you want to be there helping save these children from a life of bondage, a life without Jesus Christ our Savior?

Another Wonderful Blessing

Has come my way this bright and beautiful Tuesday afternoon!
I would like to say thank you to Mr. Richard and Mrs. Cinda Bailey for their loving gift, and for listening when God called them to give. Thanks guys! You are truly a blessing to me!

This Is SO Cute I Just HAD To Share It!

Hello To All Of my Adoring Fans!

I thought you all might be interested in "meeting" some of the other students that will be attending Ellerslie this Summer and see some pictures of Ellerslie so I put up a link to the Ellerslie Students website (it's in the right hand corner :D)
