Mam Baby-- February 7, 2016

Yes, her name is Baby. No, it is just a nickname but everyone calls her that. Everyone in the office calls her Mam Babes and our group group started calling her Mam Bae. I think my favorite is Babes. She is over all of the ILP clients and she is a rockstar. She is 57 and never married. She joined the church 13 years ago. She is a hoot. She is loud, loving, and the funniest lady we have ever met. She took us Thursday to visit a clients who own a bakery, a pet accessory store, and copy Xerox place. The woman who owned the bakery started crying when she was talking about how grateful she was for us and how much she needed our help. Of course it made me cry, too. She speaks little English though so that is a bummer for me. Mam Baby taught us about the word "papa yummy". Apparently you say it when you think a boy is really cute. Telling you about the way she says it doesn't do it justice so I will have to take a video and send it. Because she knows about all the newest trends we didn't have to teach her what bae meant. She loves Facebook quizzes. She also loves to say the word "WOW" and eat. I love the people here a lot. I am trying to help the best I can but when I get frustrated with the work, I remember I have so many people in the office that are blessing my life and teaching me so much.
