I shared ESL classes with her, and I prayed with her on our knees for 40 days at the beginning of that school year. Hilary is AMAZING and I can attest to this heart you have written! She is someone I have gleaned much from, and someone who loves God and lays her life before Him - and He does amazing things through her. I miss being in her presence and having her spur me on in my heart for missions - but love that she is in Austin! Thanks for posting this - it was beautiful....love the Lord in His people!

Imagine the overwhelm and anxiety someone feels in a place that is not their home, surrounded by people who are not of their culture. Befriend them, love them. Also, in Matt 25, Jesus talks about rewarding those who respond like Hilary does-- "I was a stranger, and you invited me in."
