Sylvia graduated (almost a year ago!) and I’m finally getting to the pictures! We first met her at church, as she was going to Elim Bible College and was assigned to work with our kids ministry. Sylvia is an International student from Uganda and has a huge heart for serving, helping and loving on little ones. We got to know her over several years and hosted her for breaks, holidays, American birthdays and family dinners. We’ve shared stories over campfires, gone thrift store shopping together and introduced her to snowmobiling and venison. She received a scholarship to attend Roberts Wesleyan College and is up studying in Rochester these days.

The campus is beautiful with several historic buildings. We had fun walking around and enjoying spring together.

Later that evening some mentors and teachers put together a graduation party for Sylvia.

That year I had the chance to work with students in Residence Life to develop their yearbook. It was a really neat opportunity and I love how the cover art and theme came together.

We love you Sylvia and are so glad you’re in our lives :)
