Five girls and a donkey named "Phil"

I currently live in a house with five lovely teenage girls. I never expected to love them this much :) The Lord has placed such a burden on my heart to encourage, mentor, and intercede for these girls in prayer.

Meet Karla: She is 15 years old and her favorite color is yellow. She is also a talented artist and enjoys drawing and painting. She also can sew very well. She likes to sing and plays the piano and guitar. She likes to read in her spare time. She is also Tanya's sister. :)

Meet Tanya: She is 13 years old and her favorite color is blue. She is in the seventh grade :) She has a beautiful smile and she laughs all the time. I love when she tells jokes! Although, she is probably the most timid of the girls :) She also loves to read. Her favorite author is Karen Kingsbury.

Meet Lupita: She is 15 years old. She likes to play baseball and water the plants :) . She also likes to read. She is super friendly and has been very welcoming to the new students that we have recently gained at school. Her favorite color is blue.

Meet Yaneli: Yaneli is 12 years old. She is one of my students in the primaria. She is in 6th grade:) Her favorite teacher is Miss Frank :) Her favorite color is pink. Her mom's name is Reina which means queen in spanish. She has the most adorable freckles I have ever seen! She shares a room with Tanya and she loves to hang out with her roommate. She loves to play volleyball and watch High School Musical. Her best friend is Lupita. Her favorite foods are hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and she has recently discovered a love for meatloaf. Her favorite animals are dolphins, dogs, and cats. She is also a very talented dancer and singer :) She is currently taking piano lessons from Kali. :)

Meet Jaqueline: Jaqui is my roommate. :) She is 15 years old and the eldest of the girls. She is probably the sweetest girl I know. She is sooo special! :) She is intelligent, talented, and cares deeply about others. She likes to read and have late night chats with Sarah :) She is really good at playing basketball and soccer and likes to work out. Her favorite colors are blue and green. She enjoys worshiping the Lord through music. Her teachers are Todd, Geo, and Daniela (her older sister). She really likes learning new things at school. Her favorite movies are "A Walk To Remember" and "Pride and Prejudice." In the future, she would like to return to CVE and help children and teens that are stuggling with the same issues that she has struggled through by showing them the love of Jesus Christ.

Also...we have a donkey!!! Our neighbor Isaac (also one of my students) decided the other day that he wanted to ride our poor donkey. Phil was less than pleased :) Isaac, however, was delighted! I heard him yelling, as Phil was charging through our front yard, that he didn't know how to stop! Fortunately, it all ended well! haha :)
