Merigold, MS

Have you ever heard of Merigold, MS? Neither had I until we took the youth on a mission trip. This trip was all about construction, which was not my cup of tea. I was in charge of the food preparation and supervising the heathens. I love my youth and they are some cool kids, but these teenagers will get distracted and lose focus as soon as you take your eyes off of them. I have developed some wonderful relationships with these kids. During the trip they started calling me Mama Dana. They loved that I knew the latest rap music and was able to listen to them without judging. I also grew a strong bond with my new good friend Rachel. After coming home from this trip, I really can't imagine ever going through out my life and not knowing Rachel. She has a heart for children and adoption. She is creative and not afraid to step on the wild side. Example: She wanted to smoke a cigar at our Music Minister's fiance's bacholorette party. She has a heart for people and wants to show everyone love. She is 5 years older than me, on her second marriage, and has 3 children and I couldn't have found a more compatible person to be my friend here in Bolivar. I can't wait until Steph comes to visit and we can go hang out with her and her 3 children. She is also the Queen of Truth or Dare. I love this woman and I can't wait to develop a deeper friendship with her over the years.
