Linda...

This is our team photographer. I sure appreciated her taking this job, because when we are busy working with kids she can take photos, and she did a terrific job. It is always neat to see things from a different point of view, and see things from someone else who has never been to Nicaragua.
There are so many cool things to take pictures of, for example volcanos and daily life in the barrios.


Then there are all the pictures of the children. Everyone of them catches our hearts. Having pictures of the children help us to remember stories of them, the fun we had and how special they are.

For me, pictures jog my memory a bit. What we did on the different days.
Linda did a huge job. She took many of her own pictures, I didnt even think to ask her how many she took. Then when we got back to the States she got everyone else's pictures and put them in one big file to make a presentation! I think there are over 500 pictures in the file she created.


I loved the two pics she got of some birds she saw. I was thankful she captured them on film. Linda's hobby is bird watching! It is cool to have someone with an 'eye' to know what to look for when setting up a picture.

I enjoyed watching her when I could. Glad to have her as our photographer.

I also found out Linda has a tender heart, and likes kids, I know she had a favorite little friend at the girl's orphanage. (for some reason I thought I had a pic somewhere of her holding the little girl...but couldnt find it...maybe my imagination? who knows!) She has an awesome testimony about her life, which touched so many women at a Bible study we had. Her testimony helped so many women.

In the New Testament I remember a verse that says: "I thank God for you every time I think of you." Linda this is true, I do. Thank you for your courage, strength and tenderheart.
