Kaylee Smile!

Kaylee Smile! What a great title to a blog post! Kaylee Towne has been a huge blessing to this team since we all met her a few months ago. She jumped right in looking for leadership opportunities. One of the things Another Child concentrates on is the spiritual development of each team member. Many times we are fortunate to have some very mature Christians on the team and then other times we have some inexperienced Christians who are bursting at the seams wanting to do good things for God. Kaylee falls into the bursting at the seams category. Enjoy a few of her words as she describes her early thoughts on her mission trip experience.

Hello everyone at home! Today was a great day. Yesterday I met two girls. Today, they opened up to me and told me many things about themselves. It's only the second day being with them and I'm already worried about having to leave them. These are just two of the kids out of forty. These two are great but ALL of them make me laugh. Back at home people usually have to tell me "Kaylee smile!" But here that doesn't have to happen. Just this week alone I think I have smiled five times as much as I have in the last 3 months. The language barrier sometimes restricts our conversation, but the translators here are amazing. They truly go out of their way to help no matter what. The translators and the kids are very kind. Our lesson today was about the usual 'outcast.' We all discussed how people may call us different, but in the end we are not. We are all one in God's eyes. It doesn't matter what color you are, what language you speak, or what you've done, God loves us all. So keeping that in mind, please pray for our group and the kids. Pray for them to open up and accept our love, and to accept the love of Jesus.  Thank you for your support! - Kaylee Towne
