On her recent trip to Kenya, Tori left a piece of her heart with a little 4 year old girl, Isiki, but amazingly, her heart has actually grown larger in the process. As soon as they got to the project site on the first day, Isiki chose her and clung to her each day for the rest of the trip. The language barrier kept them from talking but it did not keep them from communicating.
Micaela E., a friend of Tori's and a team member on the trip, took a beautiful photo of the two of them and then Jenny worked her magic and had it blown up for her on a 16x24 canvas. It is absolutely gorgeous! Jenny gave it to Tori the night of the Kenya share meeting and it made us all cry! This will be one of Tori's life-long treasures, I'm sure. Many thanks to Micaela and Jenny!!
Tori hopes and plans to go back next summer to see her and how she is growing and also to continue serving and building relationships in the community of Segera. We pray for Isiki's safety and health while they are oceans apart. Tori is attempting to write letters to her through the mission organization to keep updated on her until she sees her again.
