So today, I’m here to tell ya about my team leader, the one, the only, the Queen… Emilie McNatt!
I have only been on a team with Emilie this month, but I’ve gotten to see her a little bit throughout this year. We spent the month with her team in Nepal, and I got to get to know her a little bit better there, and I wanted to get to know her more but I wasn’t sure I would get the chance, but lucky for me, I did!
First of all, Emilie has a great sense of humor. I always find myself laughing when she is around, and no matter how stressful a situation may be, she can always find a way to bring joy into it.
Emilie also loves people so well. This month, we got to spend some time with kids in an orphanage, and I could tell that is where her heart is. She loved those kids so much and was so willing to just sit and be with them. We also got to stay with a missionary family in Hungary for a few days, and they’re actually the family of her roommate at home in Tennessee. They have a few teenaged kids at that house and the way Emilie loved them and talked to them, it was almost as if she was in their family, too, which was beautiful to see.
I’ve seen Emilie grow a lot just this month in leadership. This is the one and only month she is serving as a team leader, and she is doing a fantastic job. From arranging transportation to communicating ministry to just spending quality time with the team, she has made this month with this team truly special.
This month, Emilie has taught me how to laugh and enjoy the little moments of joy no matter where we are. I’m so glad we got to be on a team together, even if it was for a short time. She is a beautiful person and I know this year is just the beginning of the incredible Journey the Lord is going to take her on!
