Her name is Estera

She is silly, adorable, fun, kind, loving, lovable, and one of the girls who has touched my heart the very most.
She is a precious princess.
She is smart and hysterical.

The past four days I have been able to spend time with Estera. She was in my small group at camp and it was very cool to see how she responded to our material. From the moment she walked through the door she was making jokes, but she knew when to be serious. She was always a joy to be around and even though we did not have any serious and deep conversations with just us, she touched my heart in a way that I cannot even describe in words. As I sit here trying to describe this girl to you it brings tears to my eyes. My heart breaks for her and for what she had to go back to today. I saw a girl who came in as more of a tomboy, whose favorite thing to do is play soccer, and whose favorite color is blue put on a princess crown, get her hair and makeup done, get a manicure and pedicure, and walk down our makeshift catwalk in a shirt dress.

She made me smile multiple times every day.
And beneath her tough exterior is a girl who loved being pampered and loved and cherished and told how much she is worth.

She is worth so much. I wish you could meet her.
I love her so much.

Today as she was leaving, she was crying. She gave me a hug and told me that she loved me.
I embraced her and my tears fell. I told her I loved her too and told her I would miss her. She kissed me on the cheek and I kissed hers back.

Then they drove out of the driveway. I dont know when I will see her again. I hope it is soon. I love her so much.

What an awesome sounding girl, and what a simple, yet real way to minister. God bless Fack as you continue to serve him. I'm praying.
