God's Gift to Our Family

This is Kelly! She is our friend from Ohio. She has a servant heart! So much so that she e-mailed a few of months ago asking if we'd be interested in her coming to stay with us to do whatever we wanted! WOW! It didn't take us long to say YES! =0) We've told her before that we'd adopt her! She's almost 20 and serves the Lord by serving missionaries as a nanny. She also works (not that being a nanny isn't work!), but she's able to take time off to take trips to serve. She's been to Brazil & plans to go back.

She'll be with us a couple of weeks. I'm trying not to think about her leaving! She got here Monday night & has already been a big help! Oh, did I mention that the kids LOVE her? They loved her in Ohio & the love continues strong!

Please pray that I will make GREAT use of my time while she is here & that I will know the most effective & efficient way for her to help me.

(See the clothes in the background? She's going through hand-me-downs for the kids. She's perfect for this job because one of her jobs in OH is working at a children's resale shop that belongs to some other friends in OH from our church there.)

Have a great day!

Love, Melinda =0)

She looks oddly familiar... :) Kelly is dear to us, and I'm thankful God's given her the opportunity to serve you. She blesses both her earthly and her Heavenly father as their representative. Love ya, Kelly!

Ahhh, there's that sweet blessing you were telling me about, Melinda!! :) I hope you've had a blessed week with miss Kelly. We have a Kallie from back home in NE that we'd love to have out here to nanny us and love up the kiddos, maybe in a year or so when she's old enough to make the trip out! (she's just 15 now)
