Volunteers - Meet Merja Fellin

Merja is originally from Finland. She is married with 2 daughters. She says she loves volunteering because it gives her a chance to help other believers and to get to know new people.

Thanks for helping us Merja!

Our Volunteers...Shawna

Shawna, one of our great volunteers shared this little snippet about her life with me.  Thanks Shawna for taking time to be there for us and share our burdens!

Shawna says...."I grew up in Hobbs, New Mexico.  I have lived in Tucson since 1990.  I am married to Mark, and we have two girls, Paige (14) and Chayse (12) and one dog, Cleopatra (7 month old miniature Schnauzer).  I really enjoy being outdoors working in my garden, taking hikes, reading, and just enjoying every day that the Lord has blessed me with.  There are several scriptures that give me strength each day: Chapter 118 from the book of Psalms and Ephesians 6: 10-18." 

Our Volunteers...Wendy

I thought it would be nice to get a little snippet from our volunteers about their lives and post it here on the blog to foster connections and growing together in the Lord's grace. I hope to see many more here. :-) 

Wendy was the first to send me her bio...
   ...I grew up in a small suburb near Chicago, IL.  When I was about forty, I returned to school for my Masters degree in Blind Rehabilitation.  I found a job at the Veterans Hospital here in Tucson and have been working here since 1998 teaching Low Vision and Living Skills. 

I really enjoy dogs, but don't have any of my own now because I am renting.  I also enjoy reading and watching old movies.  I am starting to try cooking again too. 

My favorite verse is 2 Corinithians 13:9, "For when we are weak you are strong".  I say this one to myself all the time!"...
