Last year we had the most adorable Little volunteer helping us. She is named Sara and called Sarita, same as I am! With her cute 18-year-old dimpled smile and cheery outlook she brought joy in the door with her.
Sarita was just finishing her studies to be a teacher. I watched her from a far and noticed her way with children. As the year drew to a close I decided to ask her if she wanted to work full time with us. For some reason my calls never got through, then she changed phone numbers, and so on and so forth. By the time I finally contacted her after the New Year she had already signed a contract to teach at a school.

Lilian came to us because Sarita told her that she would not regret the decision, although she wasn't exactly sure what she was signing up for!
After just a few weeks with us we already know Lilian to be a hard worker, loving member of our team, honest, full of creative ideas, a giver, and full of smiles.
I am so very glad that she came to us.
She is too. At one point, with tears falling from her eyelashes, she told us how she knew God had brought her to us. She had been praying for a job that would give her more time for her family just like this one does. She also feels as though she is learning about God in ways she never did before. The team devotions and prayer times have opened her eyes to understand new things. She is thankful to be in a healthy nurturing environment where she can serve God and learn more about Jesus every day.

Is it just me or is this a recurring theme this year?
Truly God has brought a staff to me this year that is yearning to learn, yearning to serve, and so full of love for children that I am utterly speechless.
Today I am thankful for Lili with her enthusiasm and generosity.
p.s. we hope to have Sarita join us next year when her contract runs out with the school
