Hiya family & friends of Gracie! I’m Melissa, one of Gracie’s teammates and I just want to share with you all some of the many things I love about Gracie. 

 ~ This gal has a thoughtful and compassionate heart. She is always looking out for each person on our team, asking how we’re doing and checking in when we ask to be held accountable to something. 

~ She’s kind of like the mom of our team, which feels funny for me to say because I’m two years older than Gracie, but age is really just a number if you are mature. 

~ She makes sure we’re all fed (literally); this morning I walked into the kitchen to Gracie in full chef mode making our team eggs and bacon. 

~ Her enthusiasm for Disney movies is so real. 

~ She loves to dance. I remember I was playing my Spanish music our first week in Ecuador and Gracie walked into our room and started dancing with me even though she didn’t know the song. 

~ She’s got great cheesy jokes. “Why did the chicken cross the road? BeCAUSE”. (You have to hear it in person for the full effect)

~ She is so cuddly and gives warm hugs. 

I love you a lot Gracie and I’m so grateful to be on your team and have you in my life. Excited for this next month we get to spend together in Peru. xo

All my love, 

Melisita
