C H A P T E R . O N E

welcome to my blog!

here you will read about my adventures with my newfound little sister, olivia. 

she is such a sweetheart. i am not kidding. 

you will not meet a sweeter spirit. 

olivia is a twelve year old girl in my ward who has some disabilities.

it is very hard to describe and the name of her disability is big long word i can't even spell or say, for that matter! olivia understands more than she can communicate, too. 

it's taken me a while, but i feel like i can finally understand what she is saying most of the time. 

this whole thing started because i was looking for a more permanent service opportunity.

i wanted something that i could do that wasn't only a one hour deal.

so, my little sister project was born! 

i contacted Olivia's mom (who is such an amazing woman, by the way) and asked if it would be okay if once a week i played with olivia. 

she said yes, and it all began!

so now, every tuesday olivia and i hang out and do various activities for an hour and a half.

and let me tell you, it has been such a blessing.

i really needed this, and Heavenly Father knew that!

this little girl has humbled me in so many ways, and i have learned a lot about myself.

so with that said, i hope that I can inspire at least one person from this blog, even if it's in a tiny way.

thank you for reading and enjoy!
