Visit with Lindsey






So looking back because I never posted these pictures and I know when Lindsey looks on here she would love to see them. Aunt Lindsey is so loved by the kids. Tristan thinks Lindsey lives on an airplane and has her own airplane because that is where we always pick her up and drop her off. It is so cute. A plane will pass through the sky and he will say is that Lindsey's airplane. They love love love Lindsey even though we don't see her often because she is away doing what God has called her to do. It is amazing how praying for someone like Lindsey being away brings such a closeness to the heart and I definitely think this is a reason the kids love Lindsey so because they pray for her. Lindsey is so creative in the things she will gift the kids with because of her poverty she doesn't have anything but she always finds things and they are always perfect because they are simple! Although this past trip she really out did herself. Someone gave her money with the specific intention of buying gifts on her trip to Jerusalem and whenever money is given it is to be used in the manner in which the donor requests with the permission of her directors. So she was given $100 and she bought gifts for all of the kids and for us. She gave Annaliese a lamb from Jerusalem that she loves, it is one her "snuggle bugs". Tristan got a wooden plaque with the stations of the cross on it! He LOVES the stations of the cross and has since he was two. He always wants to pray them and can lead you in them. He has a great love for the stations. We love Lindsey so much and miss her lots, but are proud of her and her fidelity to her Consecrated life.
