Mandi Hayen: personal

I met Mandi when I traveled to North Dakota in May.

The last few days I have prayed that my friends in Ellendale would be enveloped with love and comfort from God as they face the tragedy of Mandi's sudden death. My eyes have welled with tears and my heart breaks as I see people write on her Facebook wall and tag her in pictures. Everyone was so encouraged by her life, by her words, her wisdom, and her laughter. I hope that one day God will use my life to impact people the way she did during her near 25 years.

This post is dedicated to the amazing life Mandi led.
