Another Graduate!

This sweet gal is Alex
What make Alex special to us?
Alex is the gal who asked for a job to earn money to go to Togo Africa on a short term mission trip.  She didn't just ask for a hand out she asked to work for it.  We had her come every other week to clean our little condo, and all the money she earned went right toward her trip.  I was extra thankful that we could extend her job through the end of the year.
Alex is the one who gave us our sweet Togo the Turtle who is a great friend for Henry!

What else sets Alex apart?
Well, she is a triplet, and all three girls are runners (along with their older sister) Alex even holds a school record in one of the events.  They are all musically gifted as well as making the top honors in high school with over 4.0 GPA's.  It was an honor to attend the graduation ceremony and hear Alex give one of the speeches.  Sadly in our day and age the kids are not allowed to say "God" in their addresses, but as a Christian I could tell EXACTLY where she was coming from.  I will miss seeing her smiling face on Sundays when she heads off to college this fall.
Thanks for stopping by!
