last week one of my girls, Angie, was taking care of one of the younger missionary kids, and i just had to snap a few photos.

Angie's seventeen and wants to study geography or mathematics when she graduates. she's got a year of highschool left and is doing really well academically, and is slowly but surely maturing and growing in Jesus.

 she has been at EV for around nine years, and has two younger siblings that live with her mother, whom she loves fiercely. she has a sweet spirit, the most infectious laugh, likes to befriend the friendless, and plays Sudoku or with her Rubix Cube to calm herself down when she's upset.

she's had normal teenage girl hiccups, but the four of us house moms have been working through them with her and praying that someday it makes sense to her. if you remember, you can be praying that God's beauty continues to take root and bloom in her life, and that her restless spirit and search for approval with the opposite gender would be soothed and taken over by God.
