It’s Michal and Hezz! We have had a wonderful opportunity to hang out and form relationships with some of the young ladies that work at the house (cook and clean for us) and boys who protect us. They have been an absolute delight. The care they have for each other makes us rethink about the relationships we have back home. They have love for each other and do not think quickly about themselves first. Every day we help them cook and clean and because of this, we have formed meaningful relationships with them that we will take back to the states with us. It will be hard to leave them, for they have stolen our hearts.
Evelyn, and Lovetta: They stay at the house and prepare meals for us each day. We have had the opportunity to sit and observe the Liberian woman customs and they have taken the time to let us be a part of it. We have had many talks about what they look for in a good girlfriend/boyfriend relationship and what forms a good Christian base. They have been such an encouragement to us in this area. We have had a lot of laughs with them!
(Evelyn and Lovetta)Saturday and Abel: They are two young amazing boys ages15 and 20 that are here to watch over us and help around the house. They make it a priority to always protect us and truly show their love towards us while we have been here. When we first met them, we knew they had a kindness in their hearts and each day it is visible more and more. They have definitely made the trip for both of us! They always have smiles on their faces and make our day that much better.

We hope that we are leaving them with examples of the love we have for God. Our time so far has been well spent here and we spend most of our time with these 5 people we have grown to love. We look forward to this next week with them but we know when we leave they will be the hardest to say goodbye to. God has really provided for us and has opened our hearts to how much more joy and love there is to offer within the different relationships we form.
