Ava's Mission

Hello friends and family! This week was pretty tough and all of you back home know it was. My heart hurts so bad for the Holland Family with the passing of Briggs.

Transfer news!!!! I'm going to FLAGSTAFF!! I'm so excited but also this area and these people have my whole heart and it's going to be really tough to leave.

I'm sorry I have no time, but I am so grateful for all the people here and al the miracles that I have experienced. I am not the same person and I so grateful for the way Christ changes us, and often through other people. I'm so ready for whatever he has next for me! Love y'all!! - Sister Hardy
