Stephanie and Rachel

 

Stephanie

Stephanie was born with six toes – just like her father! She was home schooled and an active member of theMILL, the college age ministry at New Life Church. She had a strong mind and was an avid learner. She was very friendly and outgoing and was “motherly” in her care for others. She had a “take charge” attitude and loved writing (especially fictional stories), fly fishing, music and travel. She had recently returned from a mission trip to China. Stephanie strove to get to know a person’s heart…not just what was on the surface. She was also passionately expressive in her worship towards her Lord. Stephanie played chess with her younger sister, Gracie, every day.

 

Rachel

She was home schooled and an active member of theMILL, the college age ministry at New Life Church. She was very artistic in her approach to life…she was a romantic and loved the epics. She loved dance and music. Rachel got teased for having blond hair, so she had decided to color her hair red because of all the blonde jokes… she also loved making up stores with video clips. She enjoyed traveling…especially to Brazil, Mexico and China on youth mission trips.
