I grew up in Dearborn Heights, Michigan and in my teen years attended Temple Baptist Church of Detroit. Never did I dream I would end up living in Mexico as a Missionary, but the Lord had plans for my life. With my College and Career deptment, I went on a missious trip to Monterrey. Here is where I met Ron and we became friends. The Lord touched my heart so completely on that trip that when I returned to Michigan I gave my life to the Lord and wanted to do even more to serve Him. Ron and I comunicated by letter and by phone for a year and a half. We learned a lot about each other and the Lord used that time to gradually prepare me for life on the mission field.

For the past 15 years we have been married and serving Him here together. It hasn't always been easy,especially the early years but the Lord has seen me through many challenges and never left me to handle them alone. Elisabeth, Aaron and Ryan have brought more joy to my life than I could have imagined. All my life I wanted to be a Mom, and the Lord blessed me three times.

I teach at the school where my children attend, and am able to be a part of their lives every day. I love my job. Of course, teaching 4 grades at the same time is quite a challenge, but I love my students and enjoy being with them. My class consists of several grades. Andrea Aguilar is in kindergarden. Timmy Bitner is my only second grader. It has been my joy to be able to be Ryan's only teacher so far. He is in the third grade now. Sara Williams has been with me for 6 years . She is in special education, and she is very special to me.

I also enjoy working with the babies at church. I started a nursery and Elisabeth and I love taking care of the babies every Sunday and Wednesday. It seems we get new babies every week. I am thankful the Lord is using my love for children as a way to serve Him here in Mexico.
