Work

So I have an awesome job where I am blessed to be able to do so many things that I enjoy doing.  I get to be a "mom" to 20+ women and their babies, I am able to teach classes, expose the women I work with to culture by going on field trips, I take maternity pics of the moms, as well as share about the Lord and pray with the women, among other things.  It is the work of a missionary in Southern California, but it doesn't always feel like work.  It feels like the life of a mom, but I get to leave all the kids and go home at the end of the day.  haha.  

All in all I feel so blessed to be able to use so many of the gifts the Lord has given me in one place.  

This week my work, Casa Teresa, did a little mini blog about my pictures for the moms.  It was really nice!  So I thought I would share.
