Thing One and Thing Two

Just less than a month ago, we posted what at the time were the last of our introductions. However since then we’ve added two incredible girls, Malwin and Esther, to our mission center family. I love how the other kids welcomed these new girls with open arms and did everything they could to make them feel comfortable. I love watching these girls flourish and grow as they are receiving love, food, and medicine. And above all else, I love getting to love these remarkable girls.

Malwin was the first of the girls to arrive. She was very quiet when she first got here and spent the first couple of days on the couch. After getting some food, sleep, and medicine in her she was a brand new girl. Malwin can now be found trying to keep up with the big girls. She almost always has a smile on her face and can usually be found near the kitchen asking for you name it…biscuits (cookies), ice cream, or chips. Malwin still loves to spend time on the couch watching TV, but now she likes to do it snuggled up in your lap with her friends around her. Malwin also likes to make those around her laugh by making ridiculous requests for things such as a kid cell phone! Needless to say she has a little bit of sass and knows exactly what she wants! Malwin loves going to school, eating junk food, and laughing at the movie Benji.

Esther arrived at the center about a week after Malwin and though shy at first she quickly opened up.  Esther has a smile that can light up the room and it usually makes an appearance when she’s doing something sneaky or being tickled! She has a very kind heart and hungry belly. Esther can almost always be found with the big girls behind the house where the cooking is taking place. She may occasionally be helping to cook, but usually she is serving as the professional taste tester.  Esther also loves playing unofficial games of hide and seek, especially when it is time to take her medicine! Esther has made friends quickly both at school and at home which shows just how amazing her kindness and sense of humor is. Esther enjoys spending time outside, playing with her friends, and laughing.

It has been a joy to get to know and spend time with these girls. Anna and I both feel very blessed to get to be a tiny part of their life and are lucky to have such a supportive network to share that with! Please continue to follow our journey about both the incredible kids we work with and the school.
