Another short post that I originally wrote on a larger post about Maggie. I originally did this profile on May 22nd, 2010.
Magdalena is such a great girl. She’s like the quintessential second grader, only more amazing. She has so much joy in her and rarely do you see her down. She is very funny and very energetic. She speaks faster than any kid that I can think, both Swahili and English. Something happened with her, Sam and Witness, because they all speak quite good English at a young age. One of my favorite memories of Maggie was a couple months ago when I had a Skype call time set-up to talk with my parents. The moments before my parents called me, I quickly found many of my kids had crowded into my office just to be with baba. When the video call came in, they all were taken back by the technology. Like I said, Maggie has good English and is quite energetic, so she took full advantage of this technology to talk to someone in the states. She just started rattling off all of these questions to my parents. I just have this picture in mind of her touching the screen, as if my parents can see that she’s pointing to my dad, and saying “who is this babu (grandfather)?” She always comes up to me to give me a hug and for whatever reason she always leans back and I have to hold her up to keep her from falling backwards. She does it with Lyd and Jodie too, of course. She really does have just the most fun personality and we are so blessed by her and know that the Lord has something special for her.
