Jessica Turns 17!
On October 1st Jessica turned 17. It is so hard to believe that she has lived with us for almost two years. The time is going by so fast. She has made remarkable progress in all areas. Her English is beautiful with the most darling accent. She has a very sweet personality and everyone loves her. She is in 10th grade at our local high school and she is giving it her all. I have to say, my hat is off to her. She is so helpful around the house, which I really appreciate. She has started babysitting for some families at church and they are so happy with her work. The best part of all though, is that she has surrendered her heart to God and she knows the gift He has given her. A little old Russian couple have been coming to our church for the last few months. They don’t speak any English. I think they live near the church and they walk to it. Well, Jessica visits with them and encourages them. The woman’s eyes well up with tears when Jessica is talking to her. I think she loves to hear her own language, which I can completely understand. Anyway, I have told Jessica that this is how she can give back to God. She is there for this couple to help them and encourage them. My heart is full.
