I’m starting a little series of blogs called “Introducing Mosaic.”

My team consists of 7 people and I’m going to tell you about them because they’re my family for the year. We have one on one time together so we can get to know each other more, and its really grand! I’ve had the privilege of spending time with each of my teammates, but the one on one time is my favorite! 

I’d like to introduce Ralph Kelley! 

He is basically my polar opposite, which is fun! He is 23, originally from Florida and comes from a loving family. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor his senior year in highschool and endured two separate surgeries to remove it. By God’s grace, he survived and is a walking miracle. Ralph loves Jesus a whole lot and has aspirations of being a preacher, and we already see his potential.  He has an amazing servant heart, loves reading his Bible, enjoys yummy desserts and is a great listener. 

We had a date day here in Istanbul and enjoyed sharing stories, facts about each other and taking pictures. I love this guy and I’m thankful to have a brother that protects me, jokes with me and embraces me for the crazy girl I can be sometimes. 

Love you Ralphie!
