I am mother of nine (seven living) and grandmother of soon to be 5 boys. We live in the midst of citrus groves in Mentone, California. In addition to my central role of wife, mother, and grandma, much of the last four years have been spent serving the women and children of Afghanistan. We are in the midst of our church and community's effort to send a second container to that country. It has been a life altering experience for which I am grateful.
