Amy...

2004 was an awesome year for me, I turned 17 and I am in 11th grade. I was able to go to Romania with my mom, Aunt Jill, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Tom and women from all over the world. We had an outreach to the women there and I was able to help with the little baby (pictured with me) while his parents went to some of the workshops and services we offered. I fell in love with the Romanian people and would love to go back to minister again sometime in the future. I continue to stay busy taking Piano lessons, singing in the YMCA Choir and teaching a swimming class at the YMCA. I also helped out at the church teaching the 4 & 5 year old class on Wednesday nights and once again wrote and directed our Christmas Play. I went to Mexico with our church in August and was gone for almost a month by the time we got home from visiting our friends the Hurtado's. I've learned a lot about taking care of Luke, at the Hospital I learned how to do his Trach care and also how to administer his medications, and I'm now able to help when my mom and dad are away
