So, what do you say about a gal who comes to Bolivia on a summer team and then stays for a year to fill a need? That is what Kayleen did. Last summer (2010) she came having been here before and knowing many of the missionaries which include her older sister, Heather. While she was here, she heard about the need for a 5Th grade teacher and God prompted her to stay FOR THE YEAR and she did!
I was drawn to Kayleen because of her love for God, encouraging nature, and joy! I am excited to see the plans God has for her as she is now back stateside. The goodbyes in missionary life are horrible. I know, however, that it is worth the investment! I am glad for the times my family and I had to get to know and be part of Kayleen's life for the past year.
Kayleen, I appreciated how intentional you were with me this past year to chat about what God was doing. You were a blessing to me and I miss you!
You can keep up with Kayleen on her blog, Hands for Mission, and she recently wrote a guest post for my Missional Mama blog.
