Yolanda was born in the high mountains of Covant. Her mother, Marie Elmise, died right after giving birth and her father, Jean Elmise could not care for her…he had six other children at home to feed. She was brought down the mountain to us by the local Pastor.

She is an anointed “worship and praise” leader. When our children have their night-time service, she often leads worship, and she is “anointed!” She is kind to everyone, sings well, and dances well, (she is part of our worship and praise team).

She is “girly,” and loves to cook!! But, on the basketball court, she is a “terror!” Yolanda is now 14 and in the 8th grade. Her favorite thing to do is “cook!”  Her “nickname” from the kids is “goat head!” (They have several other names for her, also!) Yolanda wants to be a pharmacist. Let’s see how this turns out.

I can just say that she is “sweet and adorable,” and we all love her!!
