I am not one of those people who is motivated by the setting of goals and accomplishing them. For me, success and fulfillment is measured by how many people I get to love. Today, as I celebrate my first year being on the mission field, thoughts of challenges overcome, everyday victories, and 'fruitful' seasons of ministry don't even come to mind. I don't care about these things. What I care about are the faces that are flashing through my mind as I think about my year in Jarabacoa. If it weren't for the people, being here wouldn't be worth it to me. So, here they are, the ones who have made a difference in my life and made being a missionary worth it (let it be known that many people aren't on here either because I don't have a photo or because my computer was too slow in loading!):
